I am thinking of getting 2GB instead of the 1GB I have in my PowerBook now. And I am rather scared that I am not a normal user, after reading this. This 1GB seems just way too little I think as opposed to what all the people in the forum said. It might also be the processor which is so slow, I actually don't want to analyze it. But I have all the applications opened that I might use, seven virtual screens are packed and sometimes I start VirtualPC (that only runs when needed!) too. And I have to say I am rather disappointed by the over all performance. It happens sometimes that I am just slowed down because the computer just needs his time to catch up with the actions I demand it to do and that sucks.
But the system is just the most usable one I ever had, and I am sure I save a lot of time (a hell lot of time) that I spent before on other things like fixing or repairing the system or trying out things. ... It's never enough!
