I ocasionally edit video, ocasionally photoshop, sometimes plays games, but most of the time I'll be browsing web pages. I don't really multi task, maybe iTunes and Safari, or Photoshop and iTunes. The last thing I want to Mac to do is to lag and I'm wondering if I should spend like an extra $150 for 2gb. It's kind of expensive for RAM...

No one knows for sure, but if I use Tiger as a benchmark, 2 GB will be ample. In general, 2 GB is recommended for optimal performance.

2GB should be a safe bet.
