Hi all, I bought my first mac book pro about 3 months ago, got the biggest and the best except for the 4gb of ram, mine only had 2. Got the 7200 hard drive and the high-res screen.
I will have to admit that I was pretty disappointed in the machine, I would get the little spinning circle a lot of times while doing not to labor intensive tasks (safari, mail, office, calendar, and itunes running and switching between them) I really expected it to have no problems with this type of work, especially for the $3500 I spent on the mac.
3 days ago I upgraded to 4gb of ram and wow there is a huge difference, seem to be running so much better, no hangs ups in Safari and no non-responding programs. I was really considering selling the mac but now am happy with the performance.
So if anyone is frustrated with their performance upgrade your ram and you should be good.
