[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 616785, member: 24160"] You should also know up front, that if you're into speed and have been a hardware enthusiast/gamer building your own high end rigs on the Windows side there is one upgrade you should consider. A 7200rpm drive. This is the one thing I would have done on my MBP from the get go knowing what I do now. The drive can be upgraded after the fact on the MBP, but unlike the RAM, replacing the drive is not considered a DIY part and will void the warranty. You're not the first nor will you be the only long timer with their first Mac around here. As others have noted, just remember, it's not Windows. You'll have to learn new ways to do things. If you're ready for a change and willing to learn - you just may find yourself having a great time with a computer again. And make sure you check out the Stickies in the Switcher Hangout - eric's [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49528"]thread[/URL] is a good place to start once you get your Mac. You'll find a lot of good stuff. [/QUOTE]
