Hi all,

I have a 17" Early 2008 MBP 2.6Ghz currently with 4GB ram installed and have been thinking about upgrading to 6GB. My question is will I notice a performance increase and does it justify spending $114 to upgrade?

I'm thinking of buying the 6GB upgrade kit from OWC. I just upgraded to a faster, roomier HD and with Lion out, I was hoping these upgrades would give me a performance boost.

If it matters, I primarily use it for Photoshop/Illustrator CS5, Starcraft 2, watching videos and web surfing.

Thanks!
 
I clicked the link you put. But its dead. What exactly does "no" answer?
 
Check your RAM use. Are you using it all? Also, why is the RAM you're looking at so expensive? I bought 8GB 1333 RAM from newegg for around $60 shipped.
