what is better for the mac, 1gb memory or 2gb?

Question

i am planning on buying the black macbook, just for regular school use. i was wondering which one would be best for my use, 1gb memory or 2gb. I mess with music alot, and im pretty sure ill be making movies.. nothing too hard core tho

if i dnt need the 2gb i would gladly not pay for it, cuz i dnt hav all the money in the world right now n e wayz

Answer 1

More is better. That being said, buying and installing 3rd party RAM from crucial, kingston, owc and others will be cheaper than letting Apple upgrade it for you. RAM is pretty cheap right now, $43 for 1 GB RAM for my model Mac laptop!

Answer 2

More memory is ALWAYS better, there is no such thing as too much memory. With prices so low now, theres no excuse not to max out Music an video is VERY Ramm intensive. P.S. I think it's funniny you say you'll be making movies "nothing too hard core though". I assume you meant the load on the computer, not the content of the video LOL!!!

Answer 3

more memory is always better. I have 2gb in my macbook pro, and it runs like a dream. If you're going to be using parallels to run windows then you'll definitely want at least 2gb

Answer 4

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Answer 5

The more memory you have, the better. Get the 2GB memory.

Answer 6

If money matters, why are you looking at a Mac? They cost more. You can get a faster machine for less money.

Answer 7

Ever heard the saying "the bigger the better"?? well same with RAM ...the bigger amt of RAM the better the pc runs. extra is always good.

Answer 8

2gb is better.
