I have a large itunes and iphoto library, use office 2004 alot, and dabble in some Adobe Photoshop CS and GoLive. Should I bother getting the 128 mb graphics card upgrade and the 5400 rpm HD upgrade in the 15" or 17" PB's? I'm a student so most of my stuff involves photo's for art, writing, and music.

Or should I just buy one from the store and load up on Ram?

Thanks.
 
Graphics card is up to you, it won't make much difference for what you're doing. However a 5400rpm drive will probably make all the difference, especially in photoshop.
 
what about size? I'm debating bewteen the 15 and 17". Is it worth the extra weight and size for the screen real estate?
 
Well, you're a student, so I take it you're going to be moving around a lot with your laptop. So I'd go with the 15", the 17" is just to big IMO.
