That is helpful.....I run 2gb of high-end (Corsair's X-Treme) in my WinXP machine & it is quite snappy.....(although, I think the MBP is still snappier). I am just wondering if the cost/benefit curve goes the wrong direction when...

But what about the difference when using moderately intensive programs or having 12 programs running at once? Is this more a CPU-intensive thing, or will the extra 1g of RAM (from 2g-->3g) make much difference?

Anyone know where to get semi-affordable 2gb stick for the new MBP? I would love to bring this puppy up to its 3gb max if possible.....but I don't know if $500+ is worth it cost/benefit-wise. Any input?

Can one use an iMac (intel-based) in some sort of "external monitor" mode. In other words, hook up my PB to it & display the PB screen on it. I cannot see a native way to do it, but perhaps there's a 3rd-party...

Apple/Clover-leaf - I = get info. from there, just drag any picture to the picture of the icon in the upper left corner of the get info window & that should work.

I use iCrypt.....can get it free here. It works pretty well & is free.

I'd like to take a hit of whatever this dude is smoking......must be some kind stuff!!

Can I take this drive & stick in a 5 1/4" enclosure that will output USB or FW, plug it into my PB & use it to burn DVD's? Possibly even use the Lightscribe functionality, also?

Speakers: average - good for a laptop. I don't think it's anything special, which is why I use an external set, particularly when I play games. As far as Vista --- no one really knows. We should know more in the coming weeks when...

If you want all-kinds of detail, consider O'Reilly Press' Switcher to the Mac: The Missing Manual Tiger Edition. If you want less detail, but still can point you in the right direction, I'd suggest Rough Guide to Mac OS X . Good luck.
