Do i need to spend an extra $165.00 to get 0.27ghz better processor? Mostly needed extra memory for running multiple apps while making some videos on iMovie for fun and extra hard drive space for installing Windows and saving movies / importing raw DV capture.

Also how many of you get the extended Apple Care Protection Plan ($183)?? Is it really worth it? I'm not a computer novice and I can fix many problems myself. Apple guy said its a must even if my school repairs Mac for no charge, bc the tech guys @ my school apparently have to go through my warranty to fix it for free.
