17 inch MBP

One thing I noticed was that the RAM in the 15" was
1GB.  That's a  
great start, especially since it leaves open slots for
future  
expansion.  Check out dealram.com for RAM prices, but make
sure you  
buy quality RAM.  I had a bad stick in my 12"PB that
caused repeated  
crashing.  Testing reported it was good, but when I replaced
it the  
crashes stopped.
