Marclh Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 What would be worth it the most for schoolwork and gaming? How much of a speedup is DDR3 ram compared to the DDR2 ram inside the white MacBook?

hecker Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 DDR3 is much faster than DDR2. Other than that I love my MacBook white except for the fact that they ALL crack (design failure) at the keyboard palm rest (right where the little bumps on the LCD lid meets the palm rest when closed). Apple does, however, seem to replace these even out of warranty. The major drawback of the new alu versions is the missing firewire port. A real bummer if you really need it.

Marclh Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm aware that the grey-ish plastic cracks, but I've only seen it cracked a bit, nothing really significant. I don't think I would use a firewire port... I only have USB devices. Is the extra 200-300$ worth it for the Unibody MacBook?
