I am about to order myself a MBP. I am a PC transfer, so this will be my first Mac. Please forgive any questions that seem simple to you, its a foreign language to me.
1. I would like at least 2gb of ram, possibly 3gb. Would it be cheaper to purchase the 1gb and upgrade it myself? If so, what type/brand of ram is most recommended. And is it easily accessible on the MBP, does it void any warranty?
2. I will be running both OSes, as majority of my apps are still Windows and I have a windows main computer still. I know of two ways to do this, Boot Camp and Parallels. My first question is can I run both of these on the same computer with the same windows install. Can I boot straight to windows on some days and other days when i want to be in OS run Parallels...or do I have to choose one or the other?
3. Finally, when I do run windows in Boot Camp or Parallels, will the blue tooth in the MBP work in windows? For instance, will my blue tooth mouse work when booted into windows. Can I sync my palm pilot through blue tooth while in windows, etc...
Thanks for any and all help to this PC Vet MacNoob!
