I bought a MacBook a couple of months ago and later this month I'm going to buy a 2GB RAM kit from OWC (I heard they're good, is it true). I wanted to know how much of a difference in performance I'm going to see compared to the stock 256MB the MacBook comes with. I'm the average consumer user and use my MacBook for internet, microsoft office, watching dvds, and listening to music.
1) Will my computer start up faster with more RAM?
2) Will Microsoft Word (which isn't universal I don't think) start up quicker (it usually takes 10-15 bounces)? Will it drop down to maybe 5 bounces?
3) When I open up Dashboard it usually freezes for a little and lags while it loads. Will the 2GB upgrade make it open almost instantly?
4) Will I things just be faster and better all over lol?
5) Is it worth it to do 2GB rather than 1GB since I'm just the average user? Is there much of a differene between the two?
Thanks
