[SOLVED] I Need Help on upgrading my macbook pro!!!

[Help_MEE]

I have a macbook pro5,5 which is 2.26 ghz and I am planning on upgrading the thing to 8 gb of ram and Crucial M500 120GB SATA 2.5-Inch I was the best parts so if anybody could reccomend 8gb of ram and a budget (But still fast) ssd that is 120 gb. The problem is that I don't know how to transfer my data to the new ssd but I know that I have an external hdd and I am buying snow leopard too and from there get mavericks for free. How much of a speed increase would I get with 2 gb of ram and 5400 rpm 180 gb hdd. Responses are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks,
Noah

Things relying on access time and transfer from hdd will obviously benefit from the ssd. Boot time and application / document opening too.

For the RAM, it depends on how much ram you typically use right now. If you use pretty much all the 2GB and the system page to disk often, you will greatly benefit from the upgrade.

A good place for both is www.macsales.com.

They have good product, fast shipping, great warranty and instruction video to help you through your process, including how to transfer your data.

Good luck.
