My MP with 8800gt should be shipping the 12th. I ordered it with the 500gb drive and I'm looking to either add more storage or ram first. I have a bunch of externals for storage but I'm going to be using it for Photoshop/Illustrator CS3, FCP and some motion. I'm looking at the 750gb F1 drive for boot and using the 500gb as scratch. I was looking at 4gb Ram from OWC as well. What do you all think?

What's the question Brett? You seem to know what you want!
 
What should come first lol Well what would I benefit more from off the bat?

Don't want to be rude, but what is this post for really? You are all set with 500Gigs + external drives!!! Plus, the gigs coming with the machine are a good minimum for Mr. anyone. Plus, depending on your needs, you have WOC memory coming through... so again... What take do you want from us?
 
IF you aren't out of storage, then get the RAM first. RAM is always more important, but it won't matter if you can't do your work due to lack of storage.
