[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 715579, member: 21101"] There are currently no applications that [B]require [/B]4GBs of RAM, however if you want to upgrade to 4GBs, you can get the memory from Crucial or somewhere else. You'll save at least 50% and the memory is just as good (possibly better). The only reason to need 7,200rpm is if you're working with live audio (i.e. live performances) or are constantly writing huge files, such as video. The time difference between 7,200 and 5,400 is seconds - really, losing 50GBs and paying a lot more money is not worth it for a few hundred miliseconds. Once you have booted up and loaded your apps, you'll barely notice the difference. Time capsule is best suited for passive backup, if you spend most of your time at a desk. Believe me, it's slow over wireless, so if time is really precious, you'll want to back up using firewire. Yes you can, I misunderstood your wireless comment before, my mistake. There are no known viruses at this point that impact OS X, so this is true. Leopard, in my opinion, is far superior to Vista. [/QUOTE]
