I'm thinking of ordering a 12" iBook from the Apple Store. Should I order it with any extra's?
Should I go for the extra installed RAM? 256 MB doesn't sound like much to me. I'm trying to decide between 512 and 768 MB. I've read somewhere that Apple sells really overpriced RAM, though. So, is it therefore more economic to get my 256 or 512 MB extra RAM elsewhere? If so, is it easy to install it yourself? Which brands are good quality? Can I use any kind of SO-DIMM DDR266 SDRAM or do I need some kind of special Mac RAM?
Should I update my hard drive to 60 GB or is 30 GB enough?
I'll be using software like MS Office, FileMaker, Dreamweaver, Director, SPSS, LabView and EndNote.
