Review on my first Mac (macbook)

[janey]

Maybe in a year or two they will have the production cost of 2gb SODIMMS down to consumer level pricing.

Meaning...$300 a pop?

My macbook is virtually flying with 2gb ram.

If you get to a certain number of posts they assign you a higher ranking. It's a hierarchy that some, not all, members care about. The moderators use their, um, discretion, when deleting posts, so a few of mine have been "disappeared".

It's my way of pointing out that this isn't a democratic process and that the mods delete posts critical of their site whether or not their applicable. I like sites that don't do that and allow people to speak freely.

This post will be an example of that censorship. A moderator will read it and delete it and it'll be like it never happened. If you "offend" the mods, they'll suspend you or ban you. It's a wee bit fascist and reminiscent of a junta.

Read this while you can, whether you agree with it or not.

What is that supposed to mean?

My MB is virtually flying because of all the heat it puts off. I could inflate a hot air balloon with this thing.

I got like 3 comments deleted in my entire time here so you must be doing sth. wrong.

But back on topic, congrats on the MB and have fun with it.

Apple charges a TON for their memory upgrades, not to mention the labor charge, and it just gets insanely worse as the amount of memory goes up (ie. for 2gb apple charges $300 more, while if you do it yourself, it's $150 and you have the original RAM as well). If you can you might just be better off doing it yourself

You forgot yor vBulliten code!
