Anyone care to welcome the latest edition..

...to the Light Side? Just ordered a white MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo processor and it arrives Monday!!! This has worked out excellently, as my aging Dell Inspiron 5500 broke so I claimed insurance. They offered my either an overpriced and under spec'd Sony Vaio or a low end Dell replacement. But my persistance paid off in the end

The force is strong in this one...

Nice work mate, welcome the fun side of the net.

Good work buddy. Exactly the same machine as me. I'm delighted with it and I'm sure you will be. Shoehorn some RAM in it sharpish though - amazing what a difference it makes.

Cheers Boys!

Sunfast:- Where did you buy the upgrade? Looking on Ebay now, but I'm quite wary of buying poor quality stuff.

Hmm. I'm torn. You obviously realize that Apple is a good machine, but you think Dell is better than Sony?

Anyway, try Newegg for RAM. Throw in at least 1GB, making 1.25GB total. They have several companies, all around $80 for a 1GB stick. My Transcend is just fine.

The Vaio wasn't even duel core, acutally looked like it was ten years old.

I got it from scan.co.uk in the UK. It's called Corsair Value. Don't be put off by the "value" though, it's great.

Lucky, as soon as you get your MB, I'll be sending mine back to Apple for fixes
