We've spent an extended amount of time with the older 2.0GHz MacBook and never found it wanting for speed or processing power. In real-world terms, you're more likely to see a difference in performance by doubling the RAM than you would by simply dialing up the clock speed a couple ticks. It should be noted that our review unit of the new 2.16GHz MacBook had 2GB of RAM, double the amount in the 2.0GHz MacBook we tested last fall. Nevertheless, the new CPUs offered a not-unexpected boost in performance, improving the system's scores on CNET Labs' Photoshop CS2 and iTunes encoding tests over the older model. It also refused to boot a 32 bit linux installer from external DVD drive. The DVD drive is dead which is a problem that I suspect its common on old laptops. I have a 2,1 (mid-2007) macbook that refuses to boot from anything that isnt an Mac OS X installer. You'll find some of those newer CPUs in the latest 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pros. A bit late but I hope this can help someone.
