8 GB would suit you fine then. 8 would be more than enough for your needs, honestly. You won't notice the night and day difference of going from an HDD to SDD, but you'll be able to do more multitasking.

yes I decided to go with 8gb from crucial. I just want it there if I needed it just incase. thanks!
Yes it will.

I disagree with you.
There is a huge difference between HDs and SSDs. It's better to upgrade your RAM because it's cheaper and will make your laptop faster but if you want a major difference, for booting speed and applictaion openning speeds, the SSD is the way to go.
I disagree with you.
You should learn to read more carefully. I said there's a night and day difference between HDDs and SSDs. I stated the difference between the two is more noticeable than the RAM upgrade would be.
So you essentially just repeated everything thing I said.

Well I don't know, because I have read carefully and this is the sentence you have written: "You won't notice the night and day difference of going from an HDD to SDD." I think you meant "You will notice the night and day difference of going from an HDD to SSD."

No, I meant exactly what I said. Now please move on since it's been explained and you still don't get it.
I just wanted to get this clarified for other people to understand.
When you say: "You won't notice the night and day difference of going from an HDD to SSD." You're saying there is no major difference between an HDD and SSD, but when you say: "You will notice the night and day difference…" meanse that there is a big diference between the two. Please do not confuse us. Thank you for your time.
No, you didn't. Remove the plank from your own eye before pointing out the specks in your brother's eye.
For casual use (iLife as noted earlier) I haven't dipped below 12.5gb of free RAM in OS X since upgrading to 16gb 1600mhz. However, as I predicted, I have about an average of 9gb free when running Windows 7 premium via Bootcamp.
Thanks for agrreeing with me, lets hope he understands his mistakes.

I guess Win uses a lot more RAM w/ Bootcamp, I use Parrallels, and it goes down to 9GB RAM left with Windows and OS X running at the same time.

You can't read either... and to the other guy with the bible quote... really?
Let me clarify for both of you since this is the most ridiculous conversation about poor reading skills that I have ever had. If you read the paragraph in in its entirety, the statement was alluding to the RAM upgrade. I was stating that, if you upgrade the RAM, it won't be a night and day difference like upgrading from an HDD to an SDD would be, meaning... to anyone above a 3rd grade reading level... the RAM upgrade won't be as drastic as an SSD upgrade. This is what happens when you take an incomplete thought out of context instead of reading something in its entirety. I still meant what I wrote. You guys are being silly.
LOL, hopefully they will understand this. I couldn't believe how they were misunderstanding your post when it was clearly available to go back and reread/analyze.

Thank you. Have an E-Beer on me. *cheers*
My apoligize, sorry I didn't know why I missread it TWICE?!
Sorry again, I think the other user will see his mistake aswell.

It's quite alright. I just felt at a loss explaining myself.
I bought the 2012 13" MBP with 4GB base RAM. Looking at Crucial upgrades between the 8 and 16GB. I notice a lot of slow down when running Parallels Win 7 or (surprisingly) handbrake encoding. Handbrake encoding seems to bring the machine to a crawl!
I guess my thought is to just get the 16 and be done with it. If I buy the 8 I may want to go with 16 in a couple of years. Mind as well just max out right away.

What about the difference from 1.35v to 1.5v? I can see that crucial's use 1.35v like apple's stock RAM, but Vengeance from Corsair uses 1.5v. Shouldn't we use 1.35v RAM as well?
The Vengeance CL is lower then apple's or crucial, the voltage seems to be important... Will the ivi bridge chipset adjust to 1.35v?
Thanks.

Thank you!
Will get Vengeance's then
Well the most unbelievable thing is 8 gb sticks are 90% cheaper than they where 12 months ago!!!!!!
SSDs are a weird issue. The difference hinges on how much you hit the disk. If the OS cannot hold virtually everything in ram, the value of the SSD is much greater in terms of performance boosts. Otherwise the advantages are more limited. You can still see gains launching applications, with boot times, file searching, etc. The unfortunate side effect of using them in place of additional ram is that it may shorten their lifespan, but by the time one dies, you can probably buy a faster one with better capacity anyway.
I'm just about to buy these 10-10-10-27 for the new MBP and want to double check that these will be fine with the machine.

Yeah they will work fine. Komputerbay isn't famous but I've heard that their RAM works fine.
