Thanks for the advice. If I had gotten it from Apple I would have gone with the 5870, but I got it off Amazon, so I had to go with the stock model. I will probably upgrade the card in a couple of months.

For the people who really want a second interal hard drive insted of the optical, just get one from MCE http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/index.html they are not hard to instal at all, but you can have them do it for $49.00.

Remember folks, removing the DVD drive only saves about 160 grams (5.6 ounces) in weight, and since they are the same 9.5mm in hight as the hard drive, removing it would not make the laptop any thiner. The screen size determines the other dimensions…

One of my sisters and my father want to upgrade their aging macbooks, but they both need firewire for their camcorders. The lack of firewire is a major deal breaker, and they cannot afford the cost of Macbook Pros... so what are their options now?

I really hope we'll see a logic pro update with a whole new user interface. I've been using Logic for a while now and I am still uncomfortable with it (it is very powerful and comes with great instruments, but it just doesn't flow well for this old …

The people saying that consumers don't need to have Blu-Ray drives in their Macs yet are only partially right -- there is not a huge demand to watch 1080p movies on Macs -- but there is a great need for large capacity removable disks for backing up …

The brands I usually recommend for external drives are: G-Tech, OWC and LaCie. Right now I have 3 LaCie drives and one OWC drive hooked up to my 17" MacBook Pro. The drive I want is a SeriTek 2EN2 (a SATA dual external hard drive enclosure)…

My father and one of my sisters and both have mac books and are very happy with them, but if you can hold off awhile I would wait and see what the next round of updates bring. When you do buy one you should get at least 1GB of memory for it (always…
