What applications do you use everyday that are noticably faster?
Any apps that aren't really different?
AJ Muni said:astrosfan, ALL the apps run faster/smoother....and quit faster....
p.s. go marlins....

Now that's weird. I increased my PB from 512MB to 1.5GB, and the difference is huge. Using several apps at once, eveything goes much more smoothly.jonomo said:I increased mine from 512 to 1.5 gigs of ram.. and to be honest I can't really tell the difference....
WoW runs just as choppy...
Applications don't seem to open or run any smoother or faster
what am i suppose to be lookign at?
And the ram is recognized and seems to be running properly...
AJ Muni said:5) guys i HIGHLLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!! get this....i was going to sell my ibook (pre-installed 1gb of ram)...for $800...i was gonna get a pb and the total came out to $1700, so me paying an extra $900. i jus wanted a faster mac with more ram. BUT THEN I DISCOVERED MACRUMORS.COM!!! i came here and took the advice (same one im giving you) and bought the 1gb of ram. i couldnt be happier...and i saved $750!!! (900 -150 ram cost me).

That would be fantastic on the Apple store.AJ Muni said:Just closed 8 apps, in less than 2 seconds. (cant hit Q that fast)
I'm not conviced that iBook really would need all the possible ram.. Sure, trying iMovie with 512ram by welding together one huge "The Ultimate Michael Jackson" from all his music videos gathered from p2p programs (12 videos to be exact, all of .mpg or .avi format) was quite a feat and required lots of cigarettes & beer. But still, IMHO, this "up the ram 'till u drop" seems a bit hysterical. Like macs wouldn't work otherwise.atik said:I am also thinking about buying more ram for my new ibook. Not just sure, should i get 512 or 1gb stick. In finland the 1gb stick is nearly twice the price of the 512, and i'm still gettinf a shuffle and ae base station this fall.
Now that i read everybody's post about everyone getting a full gig...CRAP!
