I was recently looking at getting a refurbished macbook pro because I need to be more mobile. However the options I had were a 17 inch with DDR2 memory and a 15 inch with DDR3 (among others). Now I definetly want a 17 inch and I definetly want DDR3 since Im going to be gaming and with the newer games coming out I want to be on the cutting edge.

Now I know DDR3 doesnt fit into DDR2 slots. And Im not sure about pricing about installing a new mobo on a macbook pro... so should I wait until theres a refurbished 17in DDR3 on the apple store site? Or should I just wait till I can afford one of the new ones that came out in Februrary?

Sounds like a personal decision! If you think that you REALLY need DDR3 & a 17" screen...then I guess you have to wait.
