[QUOTE="JackTheRipper, post: 110374, member: 7836"] hey mnm, I'm just wondering the following: - how intensive are you when doing graphics stuff? Coz for me, graphics, flash and frontpage do NOT mix...coz of Frontpage of course. Anyway, I REALLY advise you to drop that 256mb external RAM and go for 512mb. do NOT buyb the extra mememory from apple...buy from a third party developer...you can get a good stick of RAM fit for Apple iBooks for less than $100 Canadian. I have the 14.1" iBook, 1.33 ghz and it used to have 256 RAM...it was working fine, except when switching applications, it used to lag a bit. I added a stick of 512mb recently and there has been a world of difference. However, I do attribute the faster booting to Tiger [I upgraded that too]. I normally run dreamweaver MX, photoshop, Transmit [FTP client] and mail at the same time. I turned off all my widgets coz I found them useless and resource hogs. The iBook should suit your needs, however, for Halo...I dont know if it will work. It works VERY well for World of Warcraft though. I play it almost everyday. [/QUOTE]
