[QUOTE="Chris H., post: 1103673, member: 124706"] The purchase is up to you. As for your third question: Whether or not you use Time Machine, RAM is just RAM. All your doing is speeding up the computer. (Memory= RAM, Storage= hard disk/flash drive). Now if you meant to say storage on that last part, then no, there's no change. But if you do use a larger hard drive, you will need to format it for a fresh install of Mac OS X. From Time Machine you should be able to bring back most of your settings. There are other options of course, but I'm not getting too much into detail- I don't know how computer literate you are. [/QUOTE]
