Hello Mac Talkers,

I got some money together and thinking about getting my MBP upgrade. My question is will I see a difference in my computer if I upgrade my 17" to a 4g Ram from a 2g Ram? If so what will be the difference? Speed?


All thoughts will be appreciated.

What will you be using the computer for? That will answer the question.

depends on apps you use for Vmware or fusion or editing RAW images or final cut pro,
Yes, you can notice the difference

A big definite difference if your multitasking, virtualization and/or video or image editing.

Going from 2 to 4 was the best move i ever made! plus RAM is so cheap these days you'd be silly not to

Don't get it from Apple thought they're ripoffs

day and night difference. even more so when you start to load up intense software like photoshop etc

Noticed a huge leap in performance of Aperture 2.0 when I upgraded from 2GB to 4GB.

Considering you've forked out a considerable wad of cash for the MBP, its safe to assume an upgrade of RAM is nothing compared to it.

For VM, yes, I notice that nothing was sluggish. Everything else..pretty much the same.

I think that's is exactly what I need. I got two screens running at the same time, one screen working on projects and other one is like a back up. If i need to check files I can do so without interrupting the main monitor. This helps a lot by getting work done and keeping my focus straight. When I have 5 different screens open with 3 different programs running at the sometime I noticed that my MBP is slow at multitasking.


Anyone knows the best place to get some 4G Ram?
