hello all,
im heading off to college next year, and my parents are planning on buying me a mac. Since the new one was just released, they are planning on ordering one for me in the next few days.
I just have a few questions to ask about.
1)Does the 512mb on the 9600 really make a difference compared to 256?
2)Which one should i get? The High range 15inch (512mb card, 4gig RAM) or the less pricy one?
3)Since Mac has the new display port, should i go with DVI or AVG Adapter?
4)And finally, does the rpm of the HDD really matter?
Thank you all, it's been a while since my last computer (using a 5 year old Dell as desktop and Powerbook G4 as lappy).
