Yeah, skip the ram, go straight to the SSD.

Yup pretty simple. Sure, go slow the first time, but now that I have done mine a few times, 10 mintues tops.

Its my daughters machine now with a 3 GB ram and 120 GB SSD, still running 10.6.8, but it flys. Full screen hulu, netflix, whatever and it runs like a champ.

If you dont want to pop it open -- even booting from a SSD via USB 2 was pretty quick. Thats how her machine ran until I felt like doing the transplant internally.

Awesome.Thanks for all your advice folks!
