I just got a 15.4" MBP with 2gb of ram and i saw a video of one with 4gigs and it was soooooooo fast, i was just wondering how much faster mine would be be if i upgraded to 4gigs and if I did, what is the best kind of memory to buy, and where should I buy it from!!! Thanks!!!

4 GB is overkill for a lot of users. What do you plan to use the machine for?

If you do elect to upgrade the RAM, OWC and DMS are popular choices for high-quality, reasonably-priced, and vendor-guaranteed RAM in the US.

what do you use your computer for, for most current applications 2GBs is plenty. If you do upgrade, I hace heard good things about OWC.

Increasing you ram should speed things up even more.

I always use Crucial ram, not the cheapest but I've never had any problems.

sounds like you'd be better off with a fast HDD rather than boatloads of RAM.

What is a fast HDD, and why would that be better than the ram?

Faster Hard Disk Drive which the entire system depends on. The faster it spins, the faster things launch/laod. HDD is the bottleneck/slowest component of the entire system

how much would a faster HDD be?

A 7200 RPM HD would be fine
