[QUOTE="iggibar, post: 1437509, member: 97843"] 1. The ram can be upgraded up to 16gb of 1333MHz. 2. Upgrading hdd to ssd is as easy as upgrading hdd to a newer hdd. A fresh OS install is always recommended, and is almost mandatory for an SSD. 3. If you buy a new/refurb MBP from Apple, it will come with a recovery disk written onto the hdd. Since Lion is downloaded via App Store, it will save a file on to the computer, and not the harddrive. This lets you install OSX without needing a disc. This is what you will use to install the new operating system. If you I were you, I would install the current operating system(one that comes with your computer...probably Lion), purchase the new Mountain Lion but DON'T install it yet. Save the ISO image of the install onto a flash drive, or hdd backup drive. Then you can use that to install ML. You do this so that you can always have the Mountain Lion install ready, because if you install right away after downloading it from the App Store, you lose the ability to save the install file.
