Several questions about Powerbooks. I'm looking at the lower-end 15" model right now (1.33 Ghz), except with a 5400 RPM drive and 512 megs of RAM. If you guys could help me with some questions, I'd appreciate it:

1) I'm not sure which version they come with. They should be updated very, very soon and you may want to wait unless there's some special reason you need one now.
2) That's not too heavy a load. The PowerBook should do fine but you need a minimum of 512 MB of RAM. 1 GB would be a good idea. 3) No. 4) Yes, it will run great on the current hardware. Going to 128 MB won't show you a very large benefit but it may be nice for the future (10.5: Fat Tabby?). |

I asked Apple when I bought mine if it would ship with iLife 05 and they said no. It would cost $19 to get it afterwards. I ordered on the 22nd or 23rd. They couldn't tell me if it would change soon.

Would re-iterate previous comment, get 1MB of RAM.

It's also crazy not to upgrade the video card to 128MB, considering the low cost of doing so. But then again, you should probably be waiting for the updated ones to hit the shelf. Shouldn't be too long now. Unless you really need it and have to buy it now. (ok, that's about the 40 millionth time that has been said since 2001) |

Many thanks for the advice. And, yeah, I'll go for 1024 MB
