[QUOTE="heyclement, post: 55657"] Hi, I'm a student and have only owned PCs before, but I do use Mac at school, and I absolutely love them. I'm planning on getting a 12" PowerBook G4, now... should I go for the latest model with 1.25/1.33GHz CPU with 256MB RAM or an older model with 865MHz but with more RAM? I mean, in general, which one would affect the performance and speed of the PowerBook more? CPU speed or RAM? Of course it would be ideal to get the 1.33GHz with the most RAM I can get, but since I'm just a student, I need to balance the two... Higher speed CPU with less RAM? or Lower speed CPU with more RAM? Also, I'm not a hardcore user, probably just for regular schoolworks and Photoshop image editing and such... [/QUOTE]
