No, its the same price as it was before, $179.

Ohh ok, the old Extreme went down $20 dollars, but the new one is still $179.

AirPort Extreme Base Station - Apple Store (U.S.)

No you can't put 8GB in the old one. It's worth it just to get the 1066 MHz FSB and DDR3 Ram IMO + you also get 8GB upgradability etc...

I'll either sell the current one, or keep it at home, and get a new one for the office.

If you bought it in the last 14 days, return it!

I bought it within the last 30. But if you order a Mac online, and it has high options it is Non Returnable regardless of when it was purchased. Pretty Lame rule. I would have returned it the day I got it.

I believe the return period is 21 days, but I may be mistaken.

@SuperGreg - How are you doing buddy?

My Express is fine. Too bad my facist university's firewall won't let it work. I use it at home now, and its loads better than our old "extreme"

Well, I decided to save some money and go with the less expensive option. The new Time Capsule sure sounds interesting, especially how you can share out the drive for remote use, but in the end it is not something I really need and would just be a cool toy to play with.

I'm pretty sure that the 20 GB of online space available from MobileMe will be plenty to back up all of my files. I backed up everything from my old PC to move over to the Mac and all of my files come to about 2 GB. Of course, I expect significantly expand my music collection once I start using the mac and iTunes, but I doubt I will even go over 10 GB.

So I purchased the Airport Express and the Wirless Mighty Mouse from Macmall yesterday. Free shipping and no sales tax, plus a few dollars off MSRP.

Now I just need to find a nice leather case for the Macbook Air. I really want to get one from Vaja, but it's kind of pricey. I'll see what else I can find online.
