Is there a good website that shows relative processor speed comparisons? I'm looking to repalce my G5 iMac17", with a MacBook Pro and trying to understand how to compare the different processors...

Thanks -

What program do you use mostly?

3 primary apps...

FireFox
iTunes
iMovie

have you seen any good speed comparisons? I thought I once saw a Mac site that had good relative charts, tables

iMovie should be 3-4x faster encoding. You won't see the difference with the rest (depending on you current CPU clock and RAM of course).

iTunes will probably be faster as well importing and exporting and burning.
