Hello to all, this is my first post on this forum.
I have come here for advice for a major hardware upgrade.
Here's my why I wish to upgrade my hardware: Im fed up with my macbook pro and its sluggish performance with programs for minor photo editing and periodically terrible performance with apple programs such as Itunes, Iphoto, garageband, and even safari.
Here are my current macbook specs:
CPU: 2.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 1066
RAM: 4 Gb DDR3, 1066
HDD: 320 Gb, 5400 RPM
And this is what I THINK I want to do:
CPU: q9000 Quad, 1066 (not sure if this is necessary)
RAM: 8 Gb DDR3, 4Gb x 2
HDD: 250 Gb, 7200 RPM or 80 Gb Solid State
Any advice? I really dont want to get a new laptop, I feel like Ive been getting new laptops every year... Id rather upgrade my current laptop.
If you know of any upgrades that are better, please tell me. I understand this upgrade will cost me around $300-500, but thats prolly all I'll get for my laptop anyways if I sold it.
Thanks!!!
