Hello everyone, after some searching on internet I decided to buy my macbook
pro from apple instead of from another store because they dont seem much
cheaper and apple allows more configuration. I tried ordering via the website
but for some reason it did not work for me so I decided to call them
Yep that sounds perfectly reasonable.

Generally that's true. As a percentage the speed difference between a
2.53 Ghz and a 2.6 is only 3% and 2.53 to 2.8 is only 10%. But if you
run out of memory the Mac will start swapping chunks of least used
memory space to disk to free up more. That swap process can turn your

I guess I failed to mention that Photo Booth comes with OSX so it should
