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 |

More RAM won't... -------------------- I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...I will not call my teacher "Hot Cakes''...
