I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009). I recently purchased a game and noticed it lags a lot. I was wondering what options there are for upgrading my mac. Can I upgrade processors, graphics cards, add more RAM? And if not, are there any other options to get my game to play properly without having to buy a new macbook? All comments are much appreciated
Mac OS X (10.7.2)
RAM and a hard drive are the only upgradable elements.

I have 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, what would you recommend? I'm trying to play Star Wars: The Old Republic. My internet is very fast so I know that isn't the problem.
You might consider increasing RAM to 8GB. That is fairly inexpensive ($50), and/or you may consider a SSD which is expensive (120GB, $183 -240GB, $359 - 480GB, $775).
Happy New Year,
Ciao.
I've never upgraded a computer before so I'm unsure about what type of RAM to buy. I checked out the 8GB RAM available on apple's online store, but it costs $400. That's craziness. What type of specs do I need to consider to make sure the RAM I purchase is compatible with my macbook pro?
OWC are reputable suppliers of memory and hard drive upgrades to the Mac community.
Just find your model MacBook Pro on their website and select the upgrades you need/want.
Both RAM and hard drive upgrades are user serviceable parts and easy to perform. Just need a Philips-00 screwdriver and T6 Torx tool.
OWC has detailed installation videos to guide you.
OWC also have toolkits for use with your Mac.
Awesome! They have very good prices and the site is so easy to use. Thank you
