Isn't FireWire cable limited to 15 feet between power sources? Might have to do all the devices in the same room if this is still true, provided you didn't want repeaters. Repeaters could add up though and make this a less effective option.
But hey, at least my friend and I can LAN our iBooks for some good ole MOH:AA or Civ 3 on a plane flight to England!:-)
RAM. RAM is good. On a 500MHz G3 "old style" iMac, bumping the RAM from 128MB to 256MB made a noticable difference in switching between windows and launching apps (10.1). Adding more RAM, up to 640MB, was even better. Bottom line- Quit being cheap and get RAM. Apple doesn't bundle enough. Just buy some since it's cheap and easy to install, and it'll make your world a lot simpler (and faster).
