[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1650832, member: 33722"] Memory and disk about sums it up, as lclev stated. More RAM means you can have more stuff open and running well or more demanding stuff open in addition to more pedestrian applications. A SSD speeds up everything in general from launching it, cached memory access, any binaries or internal DB's or the like accessed by applications. SSD speeds up or smooths out other things like converting DVD to M4V and the like, and can do a world of good speeding up any VM or hard disk-based video game you might run. Normally I suggest a SSD first, but with your 2GB of RAM an upgrade to 4GB or 6GB is probably first order of business. [/QUOTE]
