[QUOTE="SofaKingBig, post: 1424816, member: 261997"] Hello, I have a pretty huge dilemma concerning a macbook pro purchase so I'm going to get straight to it. Overall, I'll be mostly using my "machine" for software developing, data bases etc. (including Win 7 and Visual Studio), I'll occasionally play a game, watch a movie and whatnot. The problem is I'm not the biggest specialist when it comes to pc hardware, I know overall the processor and caches seem to be more important than RAM but I would like this purchase to be good for the long run (and I can't stress this enough). Mainly, I want to know if twice as much of RAM is actually better than the .1GHz of processor speed? Obviously on a performance level and like I said, the long run. The retina display looks great when I saw it at the Apple store but no Ethernet and dvd player show a pretty ugly side of the new macbook in my opinion. I hope to get some good feedback from people who know about the subject, Cheers [/QUOTE]
