[QUOTE="claudius753, post: 249633, member: 10917"] That MBP (MacBook Pro, incase you see it elsewhere :)) will handle that GarageBand task without trouble, while doing other things in the background. More RAM is always a plus, but 1GB should be sufficient. Plus, it is far cheaper to buy an extra 1GB of RAM and add it yourself later than it is to buy it direct from Apple. I can't comment on using Logic because I have never had any experience with it. The HD issue isn't very clear cut. The 7200 RPM will be quicker, but I doubt if you would notice it too much. Also, the extra 20GB isn't that much either. For $200, I don't think either the upgrade to 7200RPM 100GB or 5400RPM 120GB are worth it. If you really need the space, save the $200 and put it toward a nice FireWire external drive. [/QUOTE]
