DDR2 is the ram to get, i once upped my old dells ram to 4gb but it wasnt ddr2 just standard and it made absolutley no difference.

Re: New Hard Drive Miles Better
the dell had 2 channels so there was 2x 2gb chips, made no effect on it all. The mac though has 4gb and an i5 processor and it seems to cope quite well, only 320gb though, i went a bit cheapskate on the hdd option
