(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So this is what I am wondering:

First off I am talking about 13" MacBook Pros.

Should I get the 2.3GHz one with 4 GB or 8 GB of memory with a 500 GB HDD

Or

The 2.7GHz one with 4GB or 8 GB of memory with a 500 GB HDD?

Is 4 GB of RAM fast? Or should I just get the 1st in the "stock" version with 320GB?

Please help. I am thinking of getting the first one with 500GB HDD. Just can't decide if I should get the 1st one with 4GB or 8GB of RAM!>_<

Well I have an iMac with 8GB of ram and its hella fast...
My brother hasa macbook pro 13" with a 4GB ram and 500GB HDD and its ****ing epic...
The 4GB ram is fine but if you want to play minecraft and listen to music and get on the internet and watch HD porn all at the same time get the 8GB Winky Winky
other than that just go for the 4 and you won't have a single regret Happy

I also want to put either Windows XP on it or 7? Will 4GB still be good? I just don't know if I want to get 8GB!>_< I am going to use it to record gameplay, get on NGU(Browse the web), a little bit of gaming, PhotoShop and some other adobe programs on Windows? I am not exactly saying all these at the same time! Still okay with 4GB?

If you want a laptop with Win 7 just buy one with that. You must login or register to view this content. Perhaps this link will help.

Okay thanks. Also, should I go with the 2.3GHz or 2.7GHz? What is the difference?

4GB ram can easily handle photoshop, Final Cut Pro, adobe programs and Windows OS but recording gameplay on the Macbook Pro with 4GB ram might not run as smoothly, unless you have a pretty decent video card along with that Macbook Pro. So I would say go for the 8GB Ram and 500 GB Macbook Pro if you have the money for it.

(What are you using to record gameplay? El Gato? or Happauge HDPVR?)
