"Kingston ram = awesome"

There are RAM fanboys everywhere, and they all have different favorites, and they all claim that their brand is the end all best. The fact is, as he said in this video, memory is memory. Its all the same stuff.

There is only one rule. Don't buy it from Apple.

apple is just out their to make money. Why's their only 2 usb port on their macbook?? Netbooks have 3 usb min.

I know that this video is kind of old now, but I just wanted to verify that you are right about the USB ports on the MacBook.

Digidesign (Pro Tools) states that the USB port furthest from you is not recommended for an audio interface (powered by USB) because of the internal wiring of the ports. I have experienced this to be true.

I made the iPhone video using my old Core Duo MacBook, saved the video to an external HD and uploaded it using my new Penryn MacBook. The only OS I use now is Leopard on the Penryn MacBook.
