Lion worth it on a 2010 2g ram model?

[Lamarak]

I traded some stuff i wasnt using for a macbook 2010 MBA 1.86 13 2 gig model. I wish it was 4 but it is what it is. So am i safe upgrading to lion with only 2 gigs of ram? Thank for any help.

Same here, basic 11", downloaded and installed Lion yesterday, took a long time with my ISP, and it is working fine, the same or even more responsive than before.

Also installed the trial version of Parallels and that has been the biggest breakthrough for me. This is my first Mac, but Quicken on my PC is my main and most used application for all my home accounts. I am using Quicken 2004 which was the last produced for the UK, but have been running it on a second PC netbook. Tried versions for the Mac, but they are either USA ones or corrupt QIF files that are imported.

However 2004 is now running in Virtual Windows on my MBA which has made my day.

Also fine here, Lion if anything feels snappier than SL, my MBA is a 2010 11inch base model!

Using the same set up here as well and I don't notice any kind of performance hit. Very snappy, I'm quite surprised. Looks like I'll be holding off on upgrading till the next Air release.

How are animations and stuff? Any lag?

The only thing stopping me from upgrading is the fear of animation lag...which would make me chuck my computer out the window
