Re: Can System profiler be wrong?

Congratulations. Your System Profiler may MISS some of the stuff inside your Mac (if RAM is loose) but it won't make stuff up that isn't there. If it says you have a bigger hard drive and more RAM than you expected then thats what you have. Live with it. If you doubt it, use the Disk formattin

Can System profiler be wrong?

My refurb 12" G4 800Mhz ibook arrived on Monday. And I'm thrilled, really I am, but, according to Apple, I bought it equipped with 256MB of ram and a 30GB hard drive. According to system profiler, I have 640MB and a 55.76GB capacity hard drive. My local reseller, essentially said I lucked ou

Re: another wireless question
