[QUOTE="tmanney09, post: 1644693, member: 195581"] Hi all, I recently bought a GoPro and I enjoy making movies and such with it but my Macbook is now quite outdated. It is a mid 2009 13 in with 2 gb or ram, a 160 gb harddrive and an intel 2.24 ghz (I think, I know it is the lowest processor they offered at the time) processor. I have been tossing the idea around of upgrading the ram and harddrive through OWC, I was going to upgrade to 8 gb of ram and a 240 gb ssd harddrive. My main question is whether or not anyone thinks this upgrade is worth it or if I should just bite the bullet and buy a new Macbook. I would much rather spend $400 on the upgrades rather than $2500 on a whole new computer. Most of the clips I take are 1080p at 60 fps, occasionally WVGA at 240 fps. Mostly the computer stays at home but whenever I go on skiing trips I will take it with me so I can transfer the clips off my gopro, otherwise I would run out of space. I have a few more questions on the graphics capabilities of my computer but I figure I should figure out if I should even upgrade it first. Any help would be great! Thank you! [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
