[QUOTE="maclawyer, post: 598435, member: 48949"] So let me get this straight: If I perceive that my computer is lagging or running slow because I have many open programs, my computer is NOT "actually" slow? I run 4 gigs now and it is much faster "perceptually" than when I had 2. In my case, it "actually" did make a difference in how fast I type, open programs, multi task and edit. I realize that the processor has a barrier. However, you will be able to noticeably do more at once with your laptop. A 10000 ghz processor will never reach its potential with 256 gigs of RAM and neither will yours, unless ofcourse you plan on staying within the barrier created by your 2 gigs now. I encourage anyone who thinks otherwise to get the 4 Gigs. It "seems" alot faster to me. --maclawyer [/QUOTE]
