![]() Thanks to all for the input about the 7200 drive. If you expect to be doing work while mobile with any frequency, while onsite with a client, or need to for example get work done while on a flight, you'd be crazy not to get a 17. If you're going to be using it over 90% of the time sitting on your desk plugged into a 27" flatpanel however, that may not be an issue for you. I personally would never consider a 17" over my 15" since portability is a very important aspect for me, but for you, screen size may be one of the biggest considerations. If you're going to do be doing graphics work, it can benefit you greatly. You should think hard as to whether or not you want a 17". I know a LOT of people that went for the 320gb's back when the 500's were only available in 5400rpm. You'll like having a larger hard drive, and I believe the 500gb's are now availble in 7200 rpm. The hard drive is also taxed rather heavily, but you will either have to upgrade it yourself or pay someone to do it for you, so it's your call as to whether to get a 7200 or put one in yourself. Then go to any of the reputable memory dealers online (I use 18004memory) and MAX your ram. I am really looking forward to using FW800!īuy the unit with the lowest possible memory from Apple. Is there anything else I should be thinking about? Thanks for any input. ![]() The only other perif I have besides the new backup drive listed below is a CanoScan 9950F which I also like a lot. I don't even know if Snow Leopard 'does' Localtalk. Printer: Alas, Slolerner is using an AsanteTalk Localtalk to Ethernet Bridge with a Laserwriter 4/600 that is a workhorse and I'd like to keep using it. Maybe video, not interested right now but don't want to be limited later. Is it something I can add later if I decide to get into video? I mean, is it expensive by itself or I can't install it myself? (I replaced both drives in my G4 myself.) I am mostly print but I want to try Flash and doing some web stuff. So I guess the *9600M GT with 256MB* is a graphics card. The RAM upgrade price is ridiculous, so that's as is. 2.66 processor speed makes any difference whatsoever. 7200 make a big speed difference? I can't see where the 2.53 vs. Hardware: The 320 HD is fine, does 5400 vs. I will have a separate posting about which CS package I should get. I can't wait for CS5 to ship and I've been advised (I guess really reminded) that the first version that ships of any major upgrade is really a glorified beta, so I'll wait. I will be getting a 15" MacBook Pro and Adobe CS4. I've hit the wall speed-wise because of so much internet backgrounding processes I guess. So, my G4 Titanium from 2002, with it's 4th hard drive and 3rd superdrive will be hitting eBay soon.
