Cheaper Apple Memory and Display

Here's two tips I got from different friends:
-For cheaper memory for your Apple computer (at least for the Mac Pro, it was so), visit Crucial The Memory Experts. Gotta thank Danilo for this tip!

-If you want the same technology that powers Apple flat displays, but are not too keen on having the Apple logo on them (or having them be stainless steel, etc.) you should get yourself a Sceptre Widescreen Monitor. It has essentially, from what Mat shared with me, the same technology as your beloved Apple widescreen displays, except for the missing "USB ports on the monitor, which isn't a really big deal being that there's not much that you'd want to plug into a monitor via USB."

I may get myself one of those flat displays in a few weeks (maybe for Christmas), but in the meantime, I just went ahead and purchased an extra 1GB of RAM through Crucial, since Adobe CS2 runs terribly slow on these machines, given it was software natively written for PowerPC-based Mac computers. In order to get it to work on Intel-based Mac computers like mine, it goes through a Mac OS X-built-in emulator (regardless of the fact that Apple says "There's no emulation") called Rosetta, to dynamically translate most of your PowerPC-based applications to work with an Intel-based Mac.

The goal is to hopefully get the Mac to pick up speed while working with Adobe CS2, so that it can be set up to be the machine for "creative work" that we want it to be. I will let you know how that turns out once the RAM upgrade is installed.
