Hi folks,
I'm about to make the switch from PC to Mac.
I'll be purchasing the new Mac Pro Quad 2.66
I have a quote here in canada on extra ram and for 4 gigs it's $699.00
I'm wondering what the going rate in the US is for the same thing?
You'll have to excuse me for not searching this myself but I'm totally new to Apple products and don't really know what the going rate is versus a good price.
I'm looking to outfit the new rig with a total of 5 gig of ram. Is this overkill for Lightroom and eventually CS3?
I still have to add a monitor to the setup and right now iot looks to be the 23" ACD.
I've been a staunch user of PC and MS for years as my audio app's ran so much better in that environment. Now the tables have turned and I will be adding a Digidesign audio card for professional recording in the near future, which also factors into my surmizing I'll need more RAM than usual.
I'm also making the switch from MS to Apple because I falt out refuse to let MS have the power to de-authorize my computer if it senses I have non certified or paid for apps. To set the record straight ALL of my software is paid for but i don not like the intrusive factor MS is adding to Vista.
Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
