right now i have a powerbook 12" [1ghz G4; 768MB ram] and get ~2-40 FPS in wolfenstein ET and photoshop is a pain in the arse.

i was wondering if upgrading to a MBP would help w/ these slowness even though both will run under rosetta

I think it'd help, but then, I'd wait for the merom upgrade, panther and native cs2 will be released soon
