I recently bought the 1.83 Macbook with 512 RAM. I have been forced to close all widget programs, remove all start-up items, and remove some programs in order to get the most out of my RAM. Its like I bought a computer with a speech impairment, it stutters or skips. I will click to tell it to do something and it does nothing - not even recognize that I clicked, so I click again and it goes click happy all at once. Apple recommended to me to get more RAM. It seems to me that apple should not have these macbooks on the market if we need a RAM upgrade just to operate a few programs at the same time in OSX or to take advantage of all the extras OSX has like the widgets. They also said that non-apple programs will cause it to run slower such as firefox, limewire, and ms office. Well, that would have been useful information before I bought the macbook. Does anyone know what version of the macbook runs smoothly with no lags in operation for the operating system and programs? And does anyone know how to get or what program to run to be able to play videos in formats quicktime does not support? hmmm, I thought mac was supposed to be "specialized" for media? I could play almost all video formats in windows media player on a pc.neye:
