[QUOTE="JUKE179r, post: 1519758, member: 129964"] I definitely say go for the SSD. I installed a 256GB Vertex 4 SSD in my older '07 MBP (6GB RAM/OS 10.6.8) and made it a whole new Mac again! Bootups, application performance and shutdowns were at least 5-8x faster than with the 5400RPM/500GB platter HD. The one thing I really don't miss is getting the irritating spinning pinwheels. Every music app I use opens instantly and has no glitches, stutter or hesitation (latency) which is what I don't need when making music or DJing live. I did have to sacrifice HD space for speed but it was well worth it! [/QUOTE]
