I have an interesting note to add in that I recently boosted the memory on my older desktop iMac-- I installed 512 MB (from the reputable "Crucial" ... the memory company Apple uses, I'm told). Installation went without a hitch, was recognized, etc. But, afterwards I found some apps had slowed down (when saving or closing them)! I boosted the memory allocated to the apps, even reinstalled the software for those apps, ran diskwarrior, and so on... but still a noticeable slowdown when backing up or shutting down the *data-heavy* apps. By this, I mean it is 2 to 3 times slower than before I installed the extra memory! Would this have happened if Apple had installed the memory on a brand-new, pristine machine? I'm wondering if I should do my own memory upgrade with the new ibook I plan to buy, or order it to come pre-installed from Apple (it costs a lot more to have Apple do this simple job, but if it means I won't have the slow-down problem, it would be worth it!) And, thanks for the info on printers, folks!
