Mac Virgin - 2007/02/22 18:28Recently purchased my 1st Apple computer EVER; a Mac Pro. Experieinces so far are mixed with Apple Sales/Customer Service; ie: the policy that they HAVE to install any upgrades to the computer. I have played with Windows-based PC for ever and can build the blind folder; and I don't like the idea of someone else inside my $h-t.
Bought the 2.66 model and bought the following upgrades: 1.) bluetooth 2.) Wireless 3.) 2 - 1 gig sticks 4.) 750g harddrive 5.) ATI x1900
What other options or upgrades do I need or want?
Thanks! Glen

Re:Mac Virgin - 2007/02/22 19:20What ever it's capableof doing. Just want to have all the available options; and since I really don't about Macs, I don't know what's available.

Re:Mac Virgin - 2007/02/22 19:55The more RAM, the better. 2 gigs is good and you'll be able to do all you want--3 gigs is better, however. The whole system will be snappier.
