• Does anyone know the new RAM limit of the Santa Rosa platform? One of the fabled new features is the break of the 3GB RAM limit, which is a problem when Apple e.g. recommends 4GB minimum for Final Cut Studio 2. With more even better. I tried …

• I'm still waiting for a 1080p HD screen option. But Apple might have to wait for Leopard's resolution independence before they can introduce a MBP with 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 resolution. There's also been a lot of speculation whether Apple will …
