what would be better?
i recently bought a new black macbook, 250gb 2gb ram etc. i am finding it bogs down a lot and even crashes when running programs like chronosync (i am very anal about backing up and syncing and since i yuse a windows pc at work this kills me). and lightroom and iphoto etc. would i be better upgrading to a macbook pro (200gb 2gb ram but video card) or simply upping my macbook to 4gb ram? any other suggestions? on a side note how do i find out what apps are currently runnin in the background, i think (comeing from a windows pc) that if i have a lot of hidden running apps ill be using more system resou8rces and therefore bogging it down no?
pps any recommendations for an app that syncs files and folders (say between my mac and my flash drive and will even keep u[p with deleted files and keep everything in sync)? i paid for chrono sync but am not crazy about it. THANKS and please be nice i am new to mac.
