I got one of these too. Totally rocks. You can max it out to 1 gig of DDR ram, and having a p4 2.2 running at desktop speeds is crucial. I can only stress looking into these before you pay 3 times as much for a TiBook with one quarter of the performance. I almost did, but after looking at them head to head it was clear witch choice was better. Oh and the firewire on them works great, I got one hooked up to a Motu 828 with ASIO running and a USB midi interface with no problems. check it
