Not enough memory to upgrade from snow leopard to lion...

Actually, if you already have MobileMe, I don't think you should switch to iCloud until they disconnect MobileMe in 2012. With a couple of small exceptions, iCloud either does the exact same thing as MobileMe, or it does less. I switched to iCloud thinking it would be an improvement and there is no going back now. Is there a particular feature you were looking for?

Nice deal on the RAM though. That should speed things up a lot for most programs.

Yep, I was looking forward to iCloud as well, Switched it off two days later after my contacts were cleaned out. I'll go back to it at some stage when it interacts a bit better for the average user.

But others love it already, it's just not essential to me as yet.

Cheers

4G for about $55 from OWC or Crucial

Im confused, my mac says i have 2gb, but lion requires 7gb, but im seeing others posting " you need atleast 2 gb, i have all of the normal things on my computer that most have when snow leopard was installed, so if i have to get more RAM, how do i go about doing that??

i cant find what your solution was but looks like u did it, can u tell me what u did to install your lion from snow leopard?

RAM (memory) vs Storage.

You need free disk space above and beyond RAM.

• An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor.
• Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
• 7 GB of available disk space.
• 2 GB of RAM.

7GB of available (free, not being used) disk storage. The place where you keep your files, your movies, your pictures, etc...

Finder -> Go -> Computer

Select your disk

Finder -> File -> Get Info

Does "Available" say it has more than 7GB of storage?
