Sorry Scott, what I meant is that you could live with 2Gb of ram
overall for the system. I have designated 512Mb to Xp since I have
only one or two apps I need to use until something comes available on
the Mac. If you have more ram, of course that is always a good thing.

Hi Scott,
There is one gig and one virtual processor. I am do not think that
I want to steal any more from osx because the mac processes are
laggy as wel.

I dont' know about Vista, but Xp seems to do well with 2Gb of ram
Now I understand Vista is a pig so yes, more ram should help. How
much ram do you have allocated to the VM?

Hello everyone,
I have the mac book pro 15 with 2gb of memory. I find that the
proformance to be great. That is untill I try to run Vista in vm
fusion. The system works just a little laggy. I wonder if I
added another 2gb of memory, if this would clear this up. I am
waiting for my xp pro cd to install that to see if I can use that
without the lag.

interesting, I use windows through bootcamp on a similar system
and it slows to a crawl. Large sites in safari are almost
unmanageable and I could site other instances where the processor
overtaxes. On my macbookpro core2 duo on the other hand, I have
found little to nothing that even slows it down but I don't run
windows on it.
I do love my macbook though so small, light and fast.

Good evening Alex,
I've been using a 1.2ghz Core Duo (2mb L2 cache) on a 533mhz bus
for a year and a half, the 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo on a 1066mhz bus
will be a nice change.
Other than virtualization there is nothing that I do that comes
close to taking advantage of my current processor, let alone the
new one.
Thanks,
Everett

Hey,
I decided to order the MacBook Aluminum last night 2.0ghz, 4gb,
160gb.
It will be interesting to see the difference in keyboard from
the old MacBook to the new.
