I'm running on 3gb just fine, thankyou very much.

I agree completely with Rockefella's sentiment. If you're going to invest heavily in a laptop computer a Macbook (particularly a Pro) is a great choice.

but if you're looking at something within budget & still reasonably well specced, search elsewhere.

I personally use a Dell XPS M1530 with 2.4ghz, 3gb RAM & a 256mb Dedicated Graphics cards, with a 15.4 inch 1680X1050 res screen, which I bought for $1800 au.

For a similar specced Macbook pro, I was looking at $2,700. These days, I'd be looking at $3,100 for the new style Pro's.

I couldn't justify the expense.
