I dunno... my girlfriend has a MacBook Pro with a Core 2 Duo and I want to chuck that out the window and run it over with my car too.

In my opinion the couple hundred spent on a beefy processor and adequate amount of memory is money well spent, and will reduce frustration when doing anything that stresses the machine.

Really my only options in the future are Lenovo Thinkpad's and HP Elitebook enterprise notebooks... those are the only machines built without compromise, and have appropriate screen resolutions (WUXGA 1920x1200), etc.
