T61 with 1440x960 resolution with an nVidia card and 2gigs of RAM costs about the same as the 2.2Ghz MBP, so price wise that's not the issue here.
I wish there was some specific measurement that was done on a MBP running Linux + VmWare (with bootcamp) as opposed to Parallels on MacOS X. :-) On 7/8/07, Shachar Shemesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If not, here is your tie breaker right there. Vmware should give you performance comparable to other optimized VMs on the same hardware. > Eran >
