I got this one from MacMall: Item #07836995 Manufacturer Part No. MB985LL/A 15" MACBOOK PRO 2.66GHZ 4GB/320/SD/9600
I did not want to spend the extra $1000 to top off the RAM at this point. I have installed Parallels 4.0 (free after rebates) which works very well, mainly to run VFP and Quicken. I have not even bothered investigating Bootcamp.

So, how much RAM? I understand it can take up to 8 Gb. (And who's ever going to need more than Eight Gigabytes!?) Are you planning on installing Windows on it, too? Which one(s)? And running dual-boot or side-by-side? Using which VM tool? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/df1eef11e586a64fb54a97f22a8bd044056ba6d...@ackbwddqh1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
