Hey Mark. I was thinking of doing the same. Where'd you pick up the ram?

NCIX.com. $90 including the $10 next day shipping. Totally worth it. Got the Buffalo ones. Made in Japan.

Thanks. They were trying to discourage me from the buffalo and pushed for the Kingston ram. A bit extra though. I'll probably grab the buffalo's since it worked for you. I was also thinking of upgrading the hd. What do you think? Should I go for a smaller, more expensive 7200rpm or a bigger, cheaper 5400rpm? :)

If you do upgrade the HD, I'd go 7200rpm for sure. It makes everything faster. If you need extra space, get extra external hard drives. :) WD Passports are cheap if physical size is a concern. Note that the 4 GB memory upgrade may negate the needs of a faster internal drive. I'd do the 4GB upgrade first then re-evaluate.

Personally I keep a reduced size iTunes library on my laptop drive, and keep my photo archive on an external drive. That keeps lots of room free on the 160GB 7200rpm internal, including a few VMware images, extra software from Macports, etc. My general rule of thumb is to never exceed 80% capacity on a filesystem, and I'm still able to keep all my "core" workflow tools and data on the internal drive.
