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 -

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.
