I don't think memory has anything to do with anything, other than that Macs are capable of having considerably more memory than PC's.

really? My Vaio has a 512 MB memory.

I noticed that you've got the TWN logos on your desktop... Working on some TWN projects?

I didn't see any TWN logos on his desktop.

I likw Macs because they dont take that much memory/RAM that PCs do.

They take up about the same amount. The newest Macs come with at least 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM, and PC's nowadays are about the same, too.

No, they don't even ship with 512 anymore, except for maybe the mini.

Sheesh, just asking

I was going to say, are you sure you arn't confusing him with me?



Stephen, its called like "logo_trans" look harder.

No, they don't even ship with 512 anymore, except for maybe the mini.

Last I checked, the standard configuration for the mini includes 1 GB of RAM, so, yeah, you're right, Macs don't ship with 512 MB at all anymore.

Yep, at last check the Mac Pro (the Intel Power Mac) holds up to 16 GB. I don't know any PC that can hold that amount.

I ordered a Mini Mac a few weeks back, and it came with 512MB :/

Must have been an older Mini. If you purchase one straight from the Apple Store, it'll have 1 gig: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nnmm=browse&mco=7B72367D&node=home/shop_mac/family/mac_mini

Yes

[Gil]

iBooks haven't been produced since early '06
