Congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading your reports when  
you're up-n-running on that beast. Great that you could through in  
the  money for the full 2 MB RAM right away. I had to go with 1 GB  
and an empty slot for future RAM expansion. I too picked a 7200 RPM  
hard drive, but I'm not so sure that was the right thing. Because of  
this fast drive the lappy gets rather hot and it is more fan noisy  
than my Powerbook that has a "slow" 5400 RPM drive. Normally sales  
people recommend faster drives, and especially for music, but if you  
do not intend to use it for multi track hard drive recording it may  
make more sense to go for a 5400 RPM drive and lots of RAM? I don't  
think my drive is very active when I do heavy live looping in Mobius.  
Please not that this is just some loose speculation on my side ;-)    
But I hate that whining sound, so I still do most work on the  
Powerbook - except for playing Mobius.
