Ok...as I have announced on another thread, I am buying a MBP in Sept. I have a question though.
Going by Apple's online prices, I can get a 15" 2.2 with a 160Mb 7200 HHD pre loaded with iWorks08 for $2303 or $2728 for the 2.4 with the same HDD.
I can get a 4 GB ram kit from Kingston for $266.
Is it a better deal to get the 2.2 setup I want and buy the ram kit or get the 2.4 setup and stick with 2 GB?
Will the 7200 HDD make a big difference over the 5400? Will 4 GB make a big difference over 2 GB? Also what kind of difference would be between the vram sizes? 128 vs 256 ?
Just want the most bang for my buck is all.
I will use my MBP for the daily stuff most people use a computer for. Internet, word processing, photos, video, music, etc... Nothing intensive at all, but I like fast machines.
Thanks for any comments.
