    Is a 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo P8700 processor Better/Faster Than a Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz processor? I'm thinking of Switching from a PC with Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66GHz and 2 Gigs of Ram, to a Macbook Pro With 2.53GHz processor with 4gb of ram. Will the Macbook Pro be faster and more powerful, or will the switch be more of a downgrade?
