    Go with the screen, get your memory later. If you shop around you can get 4 gigs for about 280 bucks (OWC, Crucial).

    I also bought the new 2.4 a few months ago. I thought 2 gigs was enough, but you really push it when you have AI, PS, DW, FL, Aperture, Safari, iTunes, Mail, and Transmit open.

    * Please note there have been rumors of new displays coming out soon. 24 to replace the 23. Not certain when, how much, etc. I just mention that, because I almost bought the 2.33 within two weeks of the new 2.4 coming out. It would have sucked and I would have hated Apple.

    Also invest in raid back up ... your disk drive will be eaten alive very quickly ... I shoot in raw so gigs are like megs to me.

    happy metal touching.
