[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 955010, member: 59143"] I'll have to respectfully disagree with this statement. Apple over charges by such an incredibly ridiculous amount of money for a larger HD and extra RAM. And I think that Apple, allowing their customers easy access to do the upgrade themselves, knows this as well. And I always thought it was silly of them to contradict themselves like that. 4 gigs of RAM on newegg.com will cost you no more than $80 [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609467]Newegg.com - SUPER TALENT 2GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model W1066SB2GV - Laptop Memory[/url] (Super Talent had been tested against Corsair at one point and beat the pants off of them) And an 320 gig external HD with 7200 RPM drive will run you the same: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136280]Newegg.com - Western Digital Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive[/url] Even an 500 gig HD will be less than $90 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150380%201309740009&name=500GB[/url] So for less than $200 you can have double the capacity of RAM and HD space, whereas Apple will charge you, well..
