    After a wait of 1 month to get a 2.2 (delay due to the new led screens) I finaly decided to go with a 17" 2.4. for a few :)mad: ) € more.
    But I think I'll not regret it,

    PC:
    200Mhz MMX 16MB Ram
    450Mhz PIII 128MB RAM VOODOO 3 (YEAH)
    750MHZ DURON 512MB RAM Ge FORCE 2 GTS
    2.2Ghz Athlon 64 Solo 1GB RAM Geforce 6200 TC

    NOW:
    MACINTOSH
    2.4Ghz DUO 4G RAM 17" 256MB VRAM GeForce 8600GT (Muhahaha)

    Any advice, tip, or anything?

    I would recommend holding off the 4GB for now and purchase it from somewhere else such as online vendors, which will save you a lot of money.

    Mac OSX Tiger recognizes the full 4 GB of memory, correct?

    It does, but its just cheaper to get the ram from somewhere else instead of getting it preinstalled for 750 or so.
