[X4U] Macpro processor choice

[Jens Selvig]

I finally decided on ordering the 2.66 model with 2 gigs of RAM. I'll  
probably get more RAM with next years budget. I added the bluetooth/ 
wifi option and also ordered the wireless keyboard.

Delivery should be within a week or so. :)

I tend to keep Macs in service for 5 - 6 years. My current G4  
(933MHz) will become my second computer which I use for email/billing/ 
and other such tasks replacing a G4 450.

If you have multiple bluetooth compatible computers and one keyboard.  
How hard is to switch computer the keyboard talks to?

The cost difference between Apple and Crucial memory (~$15) really  
wasn't enough to justify the hassle. Hopefully within a year the cost  
of memory will come down.
