Agreed. Just go with your guts. I went for the 2.0 GHz - 7200 RPM HD - 1 GB RAM + 1 GB from a 3. party (you can save around $180) and got the extra 128 MB VRAM. It's only when doing big tasks, as Franz Josef said, you need 256 MB VRAM. However, in 2-3 years, what then? (Yes, I could just intstall some extra VRAM, but I've heard it's quite difficult, so never done it.) The Ghz's, well, I guess it's just a mental thing. If that's not it, I really don't know why I did it ..
If you want cheap RAM go for this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other.../5300DDR2S1GB/
They charge $114.99, whereas Apple charge $300.
Yes, you can find others that site where 1 GB RAM for the MacBook Pro costs less, if you are lucky, around $100. But I recommend just go for MacSales.com, they got a good and quick customerservice.
(Almost) All RAM come with a lifetime warranty, so don't really know why anyone want to go buy the much more expensive Crucial RAM. They charge $115.99 for
512 MB RAM, and $187.99 for 1 GB RAM ..

No matter what spec. you go with, you will end up with the best looking laptop on the market, and preformancewise, in the high end.
Hope it will make your decision just a bit easier
