[QUOTE="yuwing, post: 159338"] If you're doing that kinda of work, i'd get 40 gig harddrive at least i don't know if this will be primary computer or not, but after 6 months, with all the PSD files and mp3s (granted u download these), u'll run out of space fast and that's not good. did i mention that tiger needs 20gig of ur total harddrive space? unless you reformat it of course. but i'd be too lazy to haha. so yah, afer you got ur ibook, u'll see that u'll only have like 10 gigs left for your stuff. so choose wisely. I havn't run any photoshop on my ibook, but i've found it very sluggish when working on MSoffice, >_> Maybe it's Microsoft's fault for bad coding... i'm not sure. watever it is, just get lots of ram! 768-1gig would do for the kind of work u're doing. my specs are: 12.1" ibook G4 1.33 Ghz 512mb ram 40gig harddrive ATI radeon 9550 32mb [/QUOTE]
