[QUOTE="Kash, post: 407922, member: 23444"] Macs are essentially PCs now with the switch to Intel chips. Programs access RAM the same across both platforms, so it's essentially the same. 1GB is the sweet spot for both OS X and Windows XP. Vista, on the other hand, needs 2GB to run smoothly. So I guess you could say OS X needs less RAM than Vista :P I would definitely suggest getting the faster processor and the least amount of RAM as possible. Then you should take a look at a third party vendor such as Newegg for your RAM upgrade. You will save a TON of money this way. [/QUOTE]
