[QUOTE="vincentmilone, post: 1521490, member: 193214"] Okay, thanks guys. I will go for the 240GB drive. I received the 8GB of ram in the mail. Installed, Works great and I was able to open a TON of programs without a stutter. Nice. The only thing I'm worried about is getting photoshop and MS office over to the new SSD. Oh, and of course itunes. Can I really just copy the hard drive onto an external drive, and then move it all to the new drive once it's installed? I don't see how that could work, because wouldn't everyone be sharing photoshop and MS word that way? Will I need to reinstall OSX lion? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
