New Computer thoughts

[benlehman]

So my computer is old and beginning to die. Since a small Apple laptop did well last time, I'm thinking about getting a similar machine. There's no more 12" lappies (sadly), so I'm thinking about getting the 13" MacBook w/ 2.4 GHz processor and extra RAM. But I'm flexible. Does anyone else have any suggestions / concerns / things I should know about? I'd be very obliged if you'd share.

When I got my PowerBook from Apple I opened up the back to take out the Apple RAM and replace it with my Crucial.com RAM. Turns out the two RAM chips that Apple had put in that I then took out were Crucial chips too.

RAM direct from Crucial.com has been a solid and pleasant experience for me over my iBook, Cube, PowerBook and MacBook, as well as various PCs.

Oh, to install RAM follow these instructions:

For best performance make sure the chips are of equal size.
