OS X Leopard

Great, so don't do it and stop whining to those that do. It aint a sin, its just illegal. Unfortunately in the US, those that have money find it easy to buy laws that insure their monopoly on the rights to make money. I break many laws that I disagree with and I believe should not exist...

I am kinda nervous....

I have returned two, one to "Best"Buy, and one to Frys. Both for the same reason. When I asked I simply said, "I don't like it, maybe if I try another one" I walked out with a new monitor. I ended up returning the new ones because after a week of use I decided they just didn't work as good...

How much memory is enough?

That is about it, xp64 is still a year or more away from being useful in the real world. and what ProviaFan said about memory use is correct, more than 2G can be a +, even if only 2G is used by any single aplication. As for the video card, for 2D like photoshop, a Matrox G450 with 16MB...
