Need Help Quick!!! Buying Advice On Macbook On ebay

[rhcp1253]

I've been looking at this item for a while. Is this a fast macbook with enough memory? I know about the hardware, but is it fast enough to say run parallels and itunes and transmission and safari at the same time? Just an example.

Yes. I'd would upgrade the RAM however.

EDIT: No, 2GB the highest thats gonna go but you can still do all that.

For Parallels and more at the same time, go for 4 gigs of ram.

It's Core Duo, 2GB is the max.

3GB should be the max for it right?

Since 2GB is the max, get a SSD or a 7200RPM hard drive to have better performance.

No, I have a Core Duo MacBook, 2GB is the max.

The first core 2 duos, 2.16 and 2.33 ghz, took 3.3 gigs of ram. Core duos top out at 2 gigs.
