Hi folks,
In regard to machine speed, is buying THE fastest Tibook going to give me a noticeable performance improvement? I think that there is about a $400 difference between the fastest machine out there and the second fastest, and I was wanting to know if the extra money is well spent. Am I going to want to get a Gig of RAM or is less than this quite OK? I know RAM is quite cheap now, but I am wanting to more know if a lot of RAM is a big help or not. Thanks, charlie |

Of course processor speed makes a difference... Let me quote myself (kinda weird...) : "Processor speed and HD access is more important". A fast processor (and fast HD: IDE 7200 rpm minimum, SCSI 7200/10000 rpm) will increase your plugs count and improve general processing of your mac (editing, display, play/Rec/Stop, ...). More RAM won't... -------------------- I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...
