[QUOTE="Garrett, post: 80418"] Hey Guys- Thanks for the quick responces. I'm probably looking in the less than $800 range. This would just be for classes, my PC would be for gaming, etc. PCs I'm used to, I've been running XP Pro since the first day it was released. (I waited in the WalMart parking lot) My current money hole is a home made system Athy 64 3200 Asus K8VSE Deluxe Mobo 1 GB PC4000 DDR 2x 72 Gc 10k SATA Hdd's 120Gb Hdd for MP3's etc. RAdeon 9800XT Yeah...it's okay not as fast as a I wish it could be. Now, I am looking at a iBook locally, Here are specs: 700Mhz 192Mb of (SDRAM, DDR which one does it have) 20 Gb HDD 10.3.7 12" CDROM w/external CD burner $400 ish Now, my current question, can I swap the CDROM for a combo myself, or do I need to take it to a Apple store? Also, how much would it cost to max out the memory. 768 is Max if I remember correctly. Speed isn't a big concern for a few more weeks, but I def. would want to max it out asap. Thanks guys! --Garrett [/QUOTE]
