Pardon this uninformed question, but I can always upgrade the RAM
later, right? But not the processor? Will the cost of RAM probably
decrease with time? At the moment, even if RAM would make the most
sense in the long run, it's just too expensive to justify at an extra
$1000.

Moving on from hard drives...
I'm about to purchase a new MacBook Pro.
I'm planning to use this computer for as long as possible,
basically until
it dies. My current PowerBook G4 that I bought back in 04 is still
running
in fact, but it's now too slow for my needs. I primarily need to run
Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2.
Someone advised me to upgrade to the fastest processor available
because
you never know in the years to come what programs one might need
to run. In
this case, that would mean upgrading from 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2
Duo to the
2.93 Ghz. I think at the moment 2.66Ghz would be perfectly
adequate and cost
is a big consideration, but if it makes sense in the long run, I'd be
willing to spend the extra $300.
Thoughts?
