I am looking to buy a 15" MBP but am unsure of whether to go with the 2 GHZ or the 2.16 GHZ. I understand that the difference in GHZ isn't very significant, but the graphics card in the 2 GHZ is the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 128MB GDDR3 memory while the 2.16 GHZ has 256MB GDDR3 memory. I may do some minor video editing and some presentations, so I'm not sure which I should really go with. Thanks for any help.

    Go with the 128. 256 is more useful to gamers and 3D artists. More is better but there's a law of diminishing returns and 128 is ample for your tasks for years to come.

    thank you both for your help. 128 probably does seem like the logical choice.
