2011 Macbook ram and SSD upgrade

[tmille45]

Hello everybody,

I have a mid 2011 MacBook pro that allows for the upgradeable RAM and hard drive. I currently want to be able to play WoW on better settings (only capable of mid atm). I have 8 gb ram and the 500 gb hard drive. Would upgrading the RAM to 16 gb and swapping the hard drive for a 250 gb SSD make an improved difference in terms of settings? I am unsure of what processor or board it came with, but I can double check tonight when I get home.

No. Those upgrades might make things load faster, but they won't allow you to play at higher resolutions or settings. What you need if you want better settings is a better GPU. The only way to upgrade the GPU on a macbook pro is to buy a new laptop.
