You bought a PC? DOH!!!!!!
Only kidding, PCs are a good interim tool until you see the light and use a Mac.
So you people would recommend a 2GB Ram upgrade on a Macbook White? I was happy enough with my 1GB, seems ok for Photoshop etc. Groans a bit whilst Parallels Desktop starts up, but is ok once settled.

I bought a Compaq F500 for $549.00 (on a budget) - had Vista on it but I ripped that off and installed linux. Runs VERY strong and fast - I run a Subversion server plus the normal LAMP stuff off it and works like a dream. Had some initial issues with the Wireless card (NDIS is a life saver) and the video card (had to modify the boot file, make it use VGA).
$2,000.00 is my backpack the world budget.

I have a Packard Bell, spend about 800 $ on it, never let me down, installed windows once since i got it about 1.5 years ago.
And as a web developer i can say that it’s great.

Wow I didn’t realize that Packard Bell was still in business! That brings back some nostalgic memories.
