And with that, I''m out of here, ffolks with real vo issues, or
questions about softcon products, feel free to email me directly.
When someone finds a mailing list I can actually join that talks
about voiceover/mac issues, without intentional flaming, I'll be glad
to join.

so why would some one want 2gb of ram?
Short answer: snappy performance.
Longer answer: games (developing and playing them), multimedia
production and playback (audio, video/effects/compositing, image
processing, 3D), modeling/scientific number crunching...are all
[examples of] applications which need or want more RAM. 2GB is not a
super-tremendous amount of RAM (anymore) considering that a *minimum*
of 256MB is recommended just to run Mac OS X. Even though 256MB is
listed as the minimum requirement for Mac OS X, Apple is beginning to
include 512MB on more Macs (and Mac OS X, in my experience, runs very
noticeably "snappier" with 512 vs. 256).
Preemptively, I note: I'm not suggesting, with the preceding, that
you can't do just fine on a machine equipped with 256MB RAM if your
needs are modest...but 256MB certainly ain't what it used to be.
