[QUOTE="Shayne, post: 64424"] Well, I was finally forced to purchase an iBook after my PC crashed the other day. It has been a long time coming and I was longing for a portable computer to complement the G5 I use for my home business. Anyway, I bought the older 14" 1ghz iBook and now I am kinda stuck on how much I need to upgrade it. I'm going to ditch the other 128mb of ram and replace it but I'm not sure if I should add 512mb or 1gig. I'm mainly going to be using this for internet, doing office work, emails, papers, itunes, iphoto, etc. But I may also load Final Cut on there and do some light editing. Will 640mb of ram be enough for what I want to do? I'm not going to be doing any intense editing because that is what I have the G5 for, but maybe some casual stuff on the road or something. Will I really need 1.12gigs of ram? Also, I'm thinking about getting the iCurve and an apple keyboard & mouse to set up the computer desktop style and raise the lcd to close to the level of this 15" monitor that I will be hooking up to span the desktop. Does anyone use the iCurve and/or external keyboard/mouse? Does it work fine or do you run into any problems? Thanks alot, I can't wait for it to get here. [/QUOTE]
