[QUOTE="iApple, post: 694487, member: 49015"] 1. The current chipset is Santa Rosa with Penryn Processors. 2. Not sure on that one. 3. I'm pretty sure the Mac Function keys will work as long as you install the drivers that come on the CD that comes with your Macbook. Correct me if wrong someone! 4. You should not need a driver for OS X to recognize your External Drive. I did not need one for mine, however if it is Formatted as NTSF than OS X will only be able to read it, not write to it. So make sure it is formated as FAT32 for OS X to be able to read and write to the drive. As far as the mouse goes the only way around it would be to buy a USB hub, as it will give you more USB ports since there are only 2 on the MB. And as far as how long your cable should be, that would really depend on how your going to have to mac set up. But i strongly recommend you get a wireless mouse, much more convenient, especially if you get a Bluetooth one, that way you dont use up a USB on the MB. Hope that helps, and GOod LUck!! [/QUOTE]
