  • 2.6 MBP out of budget, will a 2.4 work?

    Posted by Mick Haensler on May 1, 2008 at 7:55 pm

    I can’t afford a 15″ 2.6 gig MBP so here’s the config of what I can afford. Will this work for transfering SxS cards and doing occassional editing?

    2.4 core duo
    2 gb DDR2 SDRAM
    NVIDIA 8600M GT 256mb SDRAM
    5400 rpm serial ATA HD

    $1800 from Macmall

    Just a quick yay or nay from a few in the know is all I need.

    I have a first generation, almost 2-year old mbp. 2.16 intel core duo. Works fine.
