[QUOTE="True Bassist, post: 810001, member: 72241"] Best option is to upgrade the RAM if you plan to do a lot with your MB / MBP at once and look at investing in a 7200rpm HD as it will speed up your MB / MBP like nobody's business. However, it's usually cheaper to buy the items 3rd party (crucial for memory) and then install them yourself as it's easy in the latest MB / MBP's. I wouldn't bother upgrading the processor unless it's 2.4Ghz to 2.8Ghz and you really need the extra. 2.4Ghz to 2.53Ghz will only make a difference if you are pushing the MBP to the limit. 2.1Ghz to 2.4Ghz for the MB is pointless unless you want the illuminated keyboard.
