Can someone show me some benchmarks of what would happen if I were to upgrade my 2.0GHz INtel Core 2 Duo white macbook from 1GB to 2GB?

Let's just say it'll be worth the money
.
I would upgrade to 2 GB of RAM if I could afford shelling out $90 CDN for 2x1 GB.

haha but my brother wants benchmarks...otherwise he won't order me the RAM

Hey Sam can you help me? I found benchmarks but it shows that upgrading to 2GB yields only a 7% increase.
Here's the link:

I don't know if the benchmarks are necessarily the best way to interpret it...I mean, 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo has higher benchmark scores than the 2.0 GHz, but in everyday tasks you wouldn't notice any difference between them.
As for 1 GB RAM vs. 2 GB RAM...like opening Office 2004 for Mac takes my 1 GB RAM MacBook about 15 seconds to open up...according to several members it takes about 6-7 seconds on 2 GB RAM. Opening applications are faster, using Cover Flow on iTunes doesn't lag (it lags quite a lot on 1 GB RAM). Definitely worth the investment. -
If you're interested at all in running Parallels or VMWare, then the upgrade to 2GB is also more than worth it as your machine will have enough RAM for both operating systems.
