Will I see that much of a difference that makes it worthwhile?
Is it hard to do?

Here is what I have. Any help is appreciated.

I'd say 2GB is probably enough Carlos, if you just use it for day to day tasks and searching the net. 4GB maybe, but two would probably be fine. It is fairly easy to do, but knowing your track record with Macs..... lol

DO NOT buy from apple though.

crucial ram is the best deal I have found.... anyone else can chime in if a current one beats crucial's price.

I have got to put this on hold for this month but plan on tackling it next month and will reach out to you guys.

And yes Jim, with my record, this can end up making for quite a TV sit com.

Did I mention I am officially on my second iPhone?

I got mine from OWC. But I bought there b/c there was the best deal on the hard drive was I looking at. I think crucial might have been a couple bucks under.
