A related question: How much memory is maximum on the Mac desktops? I'm
thinking of buying a new computer and the largest Windows machines seems
to be at 16 GB.
Best regards,

it's finally time to put the mac mini to rest. wondering of anyone has
any comments about these configs. i'm trying to figure out what is my
best option for price, power, portability and functionailty.
working with F2010 these days and the only other hogs i run are
photoshop (from time to time) and dreamweaver (well, not really that
heavy an app). i.e. i don't usually do any real heavy graphic work. and
i'm moving around quite a bit in recent years, although usually for
extended periods, so i bring monitor with me.
base models and price of upgrading to 4G / 500 GB HD / applecare (end of
message is same in more detail):
macbook 13.3" 2.26 GHz 1375 EUR
macb pro 13.3" 2.26 1670
macb pro 13.3" 2.53 1785
macb pro 15.4" 2.53 2085
i'm considering the 3rd option, since i have a very new 24" viewsonic so
am thinking the 13" might be sufficient for portable / on the road
work. i imagine for all "real" work i will work at home, but i have
never owned a laptop so am unsure how my working habits might change.
1st is not worth considering unless they put a firewire port in it.
a few suggestions from friends have been: buy memory somewhere other
than apple to save a few bucks; don't buy through apple store to save
even more bucks; if you can afford the 15" the improvement in visuals is
important (but 500g heavier and larger to transport).
