[QUOTE="rapperswil, post: 1108626, member: 105864"] Morani I hope you wouldn't mind if I continue with a few Qs, as it is better for info to remain in one thread. Guys, I am on a budget. I had intended to buy 8GB of RAM, but after seeing XJ-LINUX's comment on the speed improvements resulting from moving to an SSD, I am wondering if it might be better to merely upgrade to 4GB from 2 GB and buy an SSD. So here are my Qs: a. Is the SSD technology mature enough? I have been reading about how SSD drive performance declines over time. b. If I buy a 40GB SSD as my primary (boot disk) for Mac OSX, how much of free space will I have after a default install of OSX? Thanks [/QUOTE]
