Are there any simple programs like front row to use on lion? I know there's front row enabler but I don't feel like downgrading my iTunes.

solid state drive. Offers faster performance than regular hard drives, better protection when laptops drop (since there are no moving parts) & may give your laptop better battery life. They are expensive however.

what size and how much did you pay for the SSD? And are you going to instal the OS on the SSD?
Also what is the software where I can write to a NTFS external? I dont want to format my external because I have 97 gigs of music on it.
Finally what size screw driver do i need to open a 09 15 inch MBP to swap ram?

Ok, so I have a question.
I have a 2011 pro that is the 4GB of RAM model with the i5 processor or whatever. I was planning on upgraded my RAM too 8gb. Would that make it that much faster? And if I threw in this SSD it would be even faster?

I have the same model. I upgraded the ram to 8gb and it runs better. I rarely get the beach ball anymore. It might not be worth it if you don't run a lot of programs at once. This also helped me decide http://macintoshhowto.com/hardware/does-my-mac-need-more-memory.html. I'm still debating on the SSD. If you install it let me know how it goes

Newegg. You can probably find deals but they're fairly cheap right now.

An SSD would give it the bigger boost. but ram is cheaper & easier to upgrade although like fresh prince said, once you get to a certain point, especially if your not running a bunch of apps at once, more ram wouldn't do much since the hard drive will be bottle necking the system. So if your just doing the basics & don't mind the expensive prices/smaller storage space i'd go with upgrading the ssd first.

And I am trying to get into video game commentary
. Or, I wanna try it at least.
I know how to record on my mac via quick time but what cable do I need to record what is being displayed on my tv? Or, what is the easiest way to go about doing this?

you already missed the 8gb deal that i got
Google Offers had the Newegg spend $20 cash and buy $40 worth at newegg.com
So I got this ram that cost $38 and got it for $20 on the deal
This is the Best Ram you can get in terms or quality and performance
8gb of Ram Cas 7
But you can get this which is the lesser model to what i got
8gb of Ram Cas 9

You can get the memory for about $30 through Newegg or $200 through Apple

You'll notice your system will be more snappy but unless you're doing heavy multitasking your system won't really take advantage of it. The SSD though is pretty remarkable. 2011 Macbook Pro supports Sata III drives with have amazing transfer speeds. Apple's own SSD only run at Sata II. I have a 120gb Sata III in my machine and every app opens instantly. It boots up in about 20 seconds. 120gb Sata III will run you about $200. You just have to make sure you can make the limited space work either through a data doubler or an external drive. I think both are well worth the money.
I have the 1st Macbook Unibody from 2008, can i use Sata III SSD in mines? and can recommend me a SSD for my Mac to many SDD's in the market and can't find a good one to invest in. Looking at 120gb.

Not sure which one you need, but I just bought a mini/thunderbolt to hdmi for 8 bucks shipped and it works great. Screw that 45 from apple.
