why 1TB that's even slower than 5400rpm for a startup drive...? You can get a 500GB 7200rpm drive as startup and get a 1TB as external for storage...

lol i didnt realize it's only 5200 rpm tongue.gif

There is indeed sufficient for leopard with 1gb of ram. As mbw 2007 only come with 1gb of ram. Only different is that the 2007 mbw come with a core2d 2.2 his only a PPC 1.6.

hey all, just here to ask again biggrin.gif
i'm now using my imac (mid2007)
the specs is intel core 2 duo 2.4ghz, ati radeon 2600 HD pro 256mb main memory, 4gb ram, 320gb hd...
the question is, who win in the benchmark score between NVIDIA's GeForce 9400M 256MB shared memory vs my ATI RADEON HD PRO 256 main memory?

it is because, just asking before upgrade to new imac biggrin.gif
the new spec is 2.66ghz c2d, and the graphic card is nvidia 9400m (2009 version)
is the comparison between my imac and the 2009 imac is too far?

hope u all can make me feel better..

don't take this for granted... it's just a benchmark, but it should give you some idea... whistling.gif

next time, google first before ask, don't expect ppl to spoon-feed you all the time... shakehead.gif

u can use any hdd that's 9.5mm thick. currently the largest capacity is 750gb, but really hard to find. 500gb can find anywhere, and i recommend hitachi since me n a few other forumers didnt get good performance out of the WD scorpio blue

I assume you mean Hitachi 5K500...? If it's Hitachi 7K500, you'll be comparing apple and orange, as the latter is a 7,200rpm drive, while Scorpio Blue is only 5,400rpm...

While WD only topped 320GB for Scorpio Black (7,200rpm), they've just launched the 500GB model, enough to compete with Hitachi's 7K500 and Seagate's Momentus 7200.4...
