I wish I had the money to buy a new macbook proand get a solidstate drive But I just have no where near the money I have the 2008 model macbook aluminum with 2gb ram =\ It does it's job. Just slowly. It was a good computer when I first got it.

Nice video none the less.

@TekTut0rials no reason for a new macbook dude, just up it to 4gb of ram and add a Sata II SSD (Which are cheap) and it will be like a whole new computer!!

@WilldtaProductions I was actually able to build a hackintosh on my gaming computer last night. It's working great the internet came on it right away I downloaded multibeast and when to the gigabyte website got my specs and used multibeast to install the audio driver now it's working perfectly like a mac :) Here are my specs:

Memory:16GB of ram 1333 Mhz DDR3

Processor:2.33GHz + 2.33GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon

500GB Hitachi Hard drive

Gigabyte nVidia 240GT Graphics card

Gigabyte(GA-P43T-ES3G)

:)

@TekTut0rials in that case save up some money and get a refurb 2010 model

@benbujwah But that's the probelm that is exactly what I use it for haha. I'm going to be going to school for that stuff. Adobe CS5 After effects, CS5 photoshop, Cinema 4D all that visual studio editing software is what I use on it and it takes forever when rendering a project and or editing a project.

@TekTut0rials Unless you are using heavily threaded applications like CSS, video editing, etc., you really aren't going to see much of a difference in speeds. Upgrade the ram and get a quality SSD and it will be a major difference

[TekTut0rials]

@WilldtaProductions Yeah but I want a new processor as well. Because I now that has something to do with it =\

@bigsteamfan 1. Apple ram is WAY over priced. 2. Apple SSDs (Samsung) , while similarly priced to mine, are at the moment only SATA II capable which means the SSD i Installed myself is twice as fast as the apple versions. So to answer your question by doing the upgrades after purchase i got better parts, for less money. Plus doing it yourself is fun:D
