Upgrade or not?

Recently been getting irritated by how slow my mac can run sometimes, with the number of applications I have running. So I was wondering would I notice much of a difference selling my MBP and buying a new MB.

Current spec:

C2D 2.33ghz 4MB L2 / 667FSB
2GB RAM
160GB HDD
ATI x1600 GPU

What I would upgrade to :

C2D 2.4ghz 3MB L2 / 800FSB
4GB RAM
160GB HDD


I only bought the MBP over the MB last year as it was my sole computer so I needed something with a half decent GPU for my 3D work and playing any games. But now I have a PC built to last for games and 3D work in the future so I need a mac for application performance(Adobe CS3 mainly).

I dont think I'd notice the drop in GPU power as I don't use anything graphically intensive but would the increase in RAM and CPU power be worth swapping?

I could probably sell my MBP for £800-900 and pick up a brand new MB for £850 with 4GB ram


Thanks for any pickle solving!

Yeah 3GB is the limit in the MBP I have. So the only real difference would be 2GB -> 4GB ?

Yeah I would lose screen size but I mostly use my mac with my dell 24". Only take the laptop around to the girlfriends or uni the odd occasion.

Ill look into a 2GB stick and see if it improves!

Thanks
