Should I update my RAM (late 2008 unibody)

[maclaw21]

Hi all:

I'm looking for advice regarding whether I should upgrade my RAM on my late 2008 unibody MBP, running at 2.0 ghz dual core, 2 gb RAM. I don't use a lot of graphic programs; I'm wondering if I will get better performance with the upgraded RAM, especially with Lion on the horizon.

Here are the rest of my specs:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

Thanks!

Go to Activity Monitor > System Memory and report (screenshot perhaps) what it says under that System Memory tab.

Definitely. More RAM will always help, especially if you have only 2GB. Your MBP supports up to 8GB.
