Upgrade or eBay?
So I have a MBP and it's pretty old now. I got Snow Leopard with a Mac Mini and thought I would upgrade the OS on my MBP but found that the computer didn't meet the system requirements, as Snow Leopard requires 2GB RAM.
I'm not really all that great with computers and just wondered what opinions people might have about whether it is worth me upgrading the RAM on my MBP so that I can keep my MBP up to date for longer? If I upgrade the RAM am I likely to find myself in the same position again when Lion is release next Summer or will I be relatively future proof? Also, am I correct in thinking that the RAM is the only thing that I would need to upgrade?
