Why a customised Mac?

Some software packages - such as professional video or image applications - may recommend or require more memory and faster processors. Hard-core gamers may want to max out the memory or graphics capabilities.

In addition to helping you meet software requirements, maxing out your Mac can also help to make you more productive. For example, additional memory can let you do more things simultaneously - and have the computer work faster - when you get busy. People with large media collections will want the largest hard drives available.

What do these options actually mean?

Faster processor - high speed. The processor is the brains of your Mac. Every second, it completes the billions of calculations needed to perform every computing task. Most Mac models feature the Intel Core 2 Duo family of processors, with twin processor cores that pack twice the power of a standard processor in the same space.

More memory - work quickly. RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory your Mac uses to run software applications and store frequently accessed data. Adding RAM improves the performance of your entire experience: opening and working with large files; using the Finder and other elements of Mac OS X; and running graphics, audio, video, and scientific applications. In addition, more RAM speeds up your computer when you have lots of applications open at the same time.

Larger Drive - more room. The hard drive is where your Mac stores all your data when you're not using it. The capacity of a hard drive, measured in gigabytes, or GB, tells you how much room you have to store your files and applications. A typical application today may take 10 to 50 megabytes (MB); photos may take up about 2-4MB each; graphics files can occupy more than 100MB; and video files are often many gigabytes in size.

Graphics processor - everything looks better. A graphics processor is simply a processor dedicated to turning huge amounts of data into graphics and video output. By taking this task away from the main processor, a graphics processor also makes the entire system faster and more responsive.
