[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1652402, member: 56379"] I'll throw a couple more thoughts out there. $140 bucks for the 6gig ram upgrade is a lot to spend on a 2007 MacBook Pro. A 15" 2007 MacBook Pro is probably worth about $250 bucks. So as you can see…investing $140 into a computer that's worth about $250…is a pretty big chunk of its value. Another thought. If you sold the computer for $250…and took the $140 that could/would be spent on a 6gig ram upgrade…you would have $390 towards purchasing a newer/better/faster computer.:) For example. A couple years ago I got a really great deal on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro for $400. Now a couple years later…getting this same 13" MBP for $400 (or less) should be no problem. So for around $400 (or less) you could upgrade to a 2011 MBP from your 2007 MBP. And the 2011 MBP would: - Already have 4gig of ram in it (maybe 8gig if it was upgraded). - If you wanted/needed to at a later date…it can be upgraded to 16gig of ram. - It would be at least 2x as fast as a 2007 MBP - Larger hard drive. - Better graphics hardware. - And it's capable of running OS 10.6 if you wanted to stick with 10.6. Other than the display size…can't really go wrong!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
