[QUOTE="nirvana, post: 549838, member: 25139"] The 2.2Ghz would be better since i would always get the highest spec you can afford when getting a new computer. Yup the Black-book is over priced IMO however if you really wanted black i guess there's no choice but to spend the premium. Live with your system for a while and see if 1GB of RAM is enough, i have 1GB and my primary use for my Macbook is working with large batches of RAW files in CS3 (also running Leopard) and mine runs at a good speed so i can live without having to upgrade my RAM for now. I'm sure that there would be a noticeable difference with the extra RAM however without doing it myself i can't say. Don't get it from Apple they charge extremely high prices look around and you might even be able to find 4GB for a good price. If you were thinking of upgrading your Mac's RAM again in the future i would just buy 2 x 2GB matched sticks right from the offset instead of getting 2GB now and another 2GB in the future. Windows runs flawlessly on Mac in Bootcamp, it's requires more power to run it as a virtual machine in parallels etc, for this i would recommend the 4GB of RAM. End line is buy the best you can to begin and i'm sure you will benefit from it in the long run. [/QUOTE]
