[QUOTE="eli.krahulec, post: 1577910, member: 324446"] I have a G7.1; 2.4GHZ core 2 duo and 2GB ram. 320 GB HD. I am feeling very frustrated as of late as it is acting very bogged down by the large OS and also I am in dire need of a HD clean up. Plan to wipe and reinstall only what I NEED. My question is should I attempt to upgrade the HD to a SDD and put the 6GB ram bundle in or am I still going to find the machine too underpowered due to the aged chipset? I don't have enough need or money for a new iMac, and need a new laptop more anyway. I hate to bury a good horse if all it needs is new shoes? LMK what you think, all comments are appreciated.
