[QUOTE="netguy, post: 337848, member: 25781"] If you are looking at the 2.33 C2D, the you dont have a choice on the memory. It only comes with 2 or 3GB. So either way, you are fine. I run my 2.16 C2D thru an external monitor, and it runs great. No noticable difference in Photoshop or Final Cut, using the external display versus the 15" MBP screen. Better yet, save yourself $500 and get a refurbed 2.33C2D. Exactly the same as what you would buy new, but you are $500 better off. For what you are doing, I would say get the MBP. A macbook would work for you, however you will see a performance gain, with the MBP. The 15" screen is sooooo nice. Yes, it is enough to do all your photo editing work + a ton more. I am still trying to figure out how the person who posted above me, got a 2.13 Core2. [/QUOTE]
