Upgrading my Macbook Pro from 2GB to 4GB. Worth It? [closed]

I looked online and I can upgrade my 2 year old Macbook Pro, 17 inch, from 2GB to 4GB for around £64. (Roughly $100).

"I have no hard numbers but I saw a drastic improvement on my MBP when I went from 2 to 4 GB.

Especially with multiple apps open, it made a difference for me.

Normally I'm running the following:

Textmate
Firefox - 6-8 open tabs
Navicat
Pixelmator
NetNewWire

I also run the laptop as a Apache server (PHP & mySQL) where I'm doing development.

If you use any virtual applications (VMWare, Parallels, etc...) you'll get great results."

I would say yes, I always put the maximum amount of ram possible in any notebook, just don't buy it direct from apple as you have to pay the apple tax.
