Fellow mac users, have any of you gotten one of the brick macbook pros yet? If you had a macbook pro prior, which one was it and how much of an increase in performance did you get?
I have a macbook pro from april 06 (2.0cpu 2gig ram max) that I use for school and would love a faster more ram-stacked machine. I've read a few articles (arstechnica for the win. I saw your comment kcarlile on the 8GB ram thread), but wonder if anyone can offer their own 'real-world' experience.
Thanks
-james

I will let you know soon. I have one on order now. Mine will have 4 gigs, but I might upgrade it to 6 using one of the recently announced 4GB chips from ramjet. I don't think the new MacBook Pros can do 8GB. I maxed the processor at 2.8GHz on this order and am getting a 7200rmp drive. Right now, I'm using a 2.16GHz Core Duo with a 5400rpm drive, so I expect to see a very noticeable difference.

Get used to it. He tends to cause that when he talks about his job.
