Re: Question on MAC specs please
That's the joy of MACs. Everyone uses the same specs. There aren't many upgrade options or 3rd party components that you can use, and besides the ram and the hard drive, you can't even upgrade internal mac components without it being qualified by apple.
The only thing you have to concern yourself with is you are buying a new Mac, sometimes you are ahead of the curve and the system hasn't been qualified yet. Basically any mac you buy with leopard isn't qualified. All others , tiger and before work just fine. Stick to oxford chipsets in your firewiredrive USB Drives not recommended Powered Firehubs do work - I use one You can use a USB hub for all your peripherals but the mbox needs to go into it's own bus. You don't have to buy ram from Apple, there are other reputable dealers that you can get it from cheaper. |
