Memory VS. SDD HD question...

Hi,
I'm buying a new macbook pro soon,
I'm currently using the previous version of macbook and I wanna decide what will make the operation faster and without poses.
Currently the average free memory is 30 mb and 1 GB inactive.

what do you think?

Thanks!

Hard to say when you don't tell us what you use your computer for.

sorry, CS student, developer tools (xcode, eclipse...), parallels a bit, and all the usual stuff - safari (10 tabs+-), adium, calendar, iTunes and more...

Ram is definately going to help. So will an ssd. The ssd will help load time, startup and general performance. The added ram is definitely a good idea considering all the programs you run (especially with any VM). If you can afford it, I would suggest upgrading both.

Thank you!
so what you'd prefer? for faster multi-tasking and operations (and less about startup...)

Tnx!
