I recently made the switch from PC to MAC. I now am the very proud owner of a 2006 Macbook (got it for a really good price). It has 512MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM witha 60GB hard drive (1.83GHz intel core 2 duo). I recently ordered 2GB of memory from crucial and bought a brand new 250GB hard drive at best buy (Western digital). There are a few problems that I would like to address BEFORE adding the upgrades and hope that you guys may be able to help. Here are the questions:
1) I use Webroot as an antivirus and was wondering if it is important to use such a program on the Macbook?
2) I download alot of movies and cd's and use Vuze, Community codec pack, winrar and convert. How do I get these programs onto my Macbook (got Vuze on this already) and access them at the bottom of my screen with all the rest of the icons?
3) This Macbook has a combo and therefore does not burn DVD's. Is it better to invest in an internal or external drive?
4) This is currently using Leopard but I want to upgrade to snow leopard. Do I need to do this before or after upgrading the memory?
5) The center of my keyboard has a slight (very slight but noticable) concave in it. Why?
6) I am really liking the black macbook color. Does anyone have a complete set I could buy to redo the whole Macbook in black?
I appreciate any and all help. Thank you
