Hi folks,
In regard to machine speed, is buying THE fastest Tibook going to give me a noticeable performance improvement? I think that there is about a $400 difference between the fastest machine out there and the second fastest, and I was wanting to know if the extra money is well spent. Am I going to want to get a Gig of RAM or is less than this quite OK? I know RAM is quite cheap now, but I am wanting to more know if a lot of RAM is a big help or not. Thanks, charlie |

I'm running an 800 mhz powerbook with 1 gig ram. What I like about the gig is that I can leave open mail, chimera, icq etc. without having to worry about performance loss -at all-. Of course, could be the same with 512, but I got the extra 512 for free
