Apr 3, 2013 1:38 AM in response to LeoHansby WondrWoman,Ok thanks a lot.
Do you use FCPX? if so how much ram do you have, and do you ever have lagging issues?
Also where can I find out how much VRAM is on the macbook?
Thanks again.

1GB Memory is not enough to even run Lion properly, let alone FCPX which can be a memory hog anyway. I would install 8GB minimum on any Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with FCPX.

I currently use 16gb and it runs pretty fast.
