Very nice. How is the overall speed of the machine? My girlfriend's Macbook has a paltry 512mb of ram in it, and I'm trying to decide on 2 gigs or 4 gigs.
going to be sexy when done!
tell us all how you like time capsule.
are you getting an ACD or other?
Well if they are gonna announce 19"-20" consumer displays then, yes, it will be apple. If not I'll go with something like a Dell.
I've only see the rainbow once or twice so for everything I do (email, Wordprocessing, internet, iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture), the 4GB is usually more than fast enough. It was not very expensive so I figured that I might as well get it
4GiB is overkill for all of those tasks, with the exception (possibly) of Aperture if you do some seriously heavy work. I have 2GiBs in mine because it was slowing down with only 1GiB when I tried to run Photoshop/Bridge/Lightroom/Eclipse/etc. all at the same time. Unless the girlfriend in question here is into seriously heavy image editting (we're talking many huge RAW files at once) or HD resolution video editing, 4GiB will just be a complete waste.I've only see the rainbow once or twice so for everything I do (email, Wordprocessing, internet, iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture), the 4GB is usually more than fast enough.

If it only came with 512MB in it, it will only support 2GB. Only the newer models support up to 4GB of RAM.
No, but you can never have too much money left over either. There's absolutely no point wasting money on more RAM id you're never going to use it, or even worse if the machine won't even recognise it.
I posted this in the Setups thread but because I'm 16 I thought I needed to post here to...
BTW I used to have a PowerBook G3 as my main computer

Im 17, I saved up money from playing gigs for the last 3 or so months, and bought my lovely 24" iMac just before christmas. I got the iPod touch at christmas, and you might also be able to see my laptop. Its not a macbook, its an HP with an apple sticker on it
That setup is amazing. It's exactly how I want to set my Macbook up, with my iPod touch and dock off to the side

so what exactly do you do that you need a mac pro, 9 gig ram, 30" cinema display and a blackbook?
Here's my current setup:
The keyboard, mouse and speakers on top of the desk are all for the Mac Pro.
Slide 'em out, and I have a full setup for my PC laptop.

Grow his epeen? Something makes me think that mummy & daddy must've helped a tiny bit with the bill as well.
