Which of these is a better RAM upgrade option for me?

Hi,

I'm trying to decide which one of the following is a better upgrade option for me. I have the launch unibody 2.4ghz, 2gb ram macbook pro. I'm thinking about either upgrading from 2GB to 5GB of ram (1+4) or 2gb to 4 gb of ram (2+2). Here are the links to newegg.

5GB Option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231265

4GB Option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231213

Thanks!

4GB. keep things the way they are meant to be - keep the performance.

4GB and the SSD . . . . If it is purely financial you could buy one 4GB now and then add another later to bring it to 8GB.

2GB x 2 and a SSD.

I'd go with the 4 gigs. If you go 5, you have a slightly larger capacity, but I believe you lose the dual-channel, making it a bit slower. Plus, the noticeable difference from 4 to 5 is probably very small.

I voted for SSD first. Best upgrade you can give your laptop.

However if you are really hitting memory limits go with the Ram.

Eventually 4GB + SSD
