this is the NEW one. just took @ 6.57pm
i'm not sure why got 1.75GB.
and yes, mine's a uMB.

i just rmb somethine, last time i did play around with this virtual machine thinggie and already deleted it.
and i think i choose 256mb ram for it.
but i've already deleted it, i thought the virtualmachine will "give" me back my 256mb?
argh!! frust la.
oh btw, when i'm doing the virtual machine i'm in 10.5
when i install my 10.6 i did a clean install


Added on December 3, 2009, 6:59 pmstress la... see my macbook like got alot rubbish like that T.T

it should give back. i have 2 VM both allocated 256mb...i still have 2gb total.

maybe cuz its 1.75gb then cannot support double channel, causing the lag? possible? tongue.gif any pro can comment?

Why wanna change to MBP 13" since you have to latest Macbook White?
If you need the FireWire port, I understand.
But the price different alot, and it's almost the same spec, the harddisk might downgrade to more less space.

My advice keep your Macbook wait until QuadCore Macbook.

I also using MacBook White, cover with my Moshi Codex caring case all the time to prevent scratch ~ rclxms.gif
But I think MBP also easily get scratched ~

QuadCore, not very sure about the price, but look at the current iMac 27" i5, i think is cheap.

ur 2gb is shown as 1.75GB because the system reserved 256MB for ur 9400M nvidia graphics card. in leopard it doesnt show, but in snow leopard it shows as 1.75.

NO! unless u can sell ur uMB full price ok la. lets say u sell rm3k... so have to topup 1.5k to get the 13" MBP...so not worth it bro. juz play with what u have now. if wanna upgrade, as others mentioned, wait for refresh later. although i too doubt the i5 will show up in the 13". anyway if u wanna upgrade, go for a 15" with dedicated GPU, u'll feel a big difference.

alternatively u can juz spec up ur current macbook. get 4GB of RAM and a good SSD.

Guys, i want to hear out your opinion. My current White Macbook is with Intel GMA 950, bought for RM4000 at Mac Studio few years ago, and i've been considering to trade-in and get the latest version with NVIDIA GeForce 9400M at Mac City for RM3,599 or buy online with Education price for RM3,399.

Is it worth it to change just because of the graphic? Please advise.
