mac city has a promotion for upgrading the RAM from 2GB to 4GB for rm 269 or something like that. is that a good deal? because i don't know if i need 4GB since i'm not doing any high-tech stuff. do you think running snow leopard requires 4GB?

1st impression, FAST !  Just cloned my main drive into my SSD. Gosh, everything is so much snappier. Launching Microsoft Word used to take 8-11 bounce on my previous Western Digital 500GB Scorpio Blue, how about now you ask? It is like opening Safari, just took a second. Photoshop CS4 took 2 sec to launch. Best of all, I can't seem to feel any vibration on my palm-rest area anymore. That may increase of my Battery Life Hopefully?
Played around with Command+A in my Application Folder and launch every App I have. It just took seconds to launch everything. The dock suddenly became super long (without lag). Haha. 

SSD Rocks !

thanks jinaun for the advise.

I will keep the original RAM since no value and better keep for future warranty.

By the way, just upgraded 1 of our mbp to 4GB with (2x2GB Kingston KVR), no issue so far.... will try to leave it over night and see.

Below price list i got from StarTec in Lowyat Plaza last weekend (20 Sep 09) and so far their price is the lowest compare to other stores:

Kingston KVR - RM145
Corsair - RM140
Kingmax - RM140
Mushkin - RM138

oh really? what happened to seagate?

actually my scorpio blue also got prob when i bought it. read performance was slow as hell. sent it back to the shop, wait less than one week for them to try to repair, but in the end they gave me a new unit

Is your HDD more than 80% full? Have you recently installed any new apps? RAM working fine?

If none of the above, it could indicate a faulty HDD.
