[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 929634, member: 56379"] Personally I wouldn't upgrade a laptop for those activities. I have a MacBook with 1 gig of ram, and a MacBook Pro with 2 gigs of ram...and I do exactly what you mentioned, and I have never had any running out of ram issues. Now if you were talking having 8-10 applications open at the same...then maybe a ram upgrade would make sense. But then again, generally there's really not a need to have 8-10 applications open at the same time. If you have mail, Safari, iTunes, and Microsoft Word open at the same time you should be ok with 1-2 gigs of ram. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
