best settings for FCPX and macbook pro 13 2010

I also own the MBP 13 inch 2010. Quite useful if you're in the field and need to do simple things.
I found out that SL runs better on it. ML is a bit heavy. It works, but...

I also try to keep as simples as possible the FCPX (not installing several plugins, red giants, FXFactories and stuff).

I also installed a Crucial SSD on it, so it's more responsive.

Was it easy to install a SSD on the macbook pro??

Did that just make opening apps more quicker?

Just checked this link out regarding the samsung SSD



Think I may look into this when I get back

It's very easy to do it by yourself. Not a problem at all.

Regarding the speed, it's noticeable faster to open all apps. But you do still have the bottleneck of Core 2 Duo to to things faster. So it is the Nvidia 320M. For me, the better update was to downgrade to SL. The processor feels "free". ML is nice too, but is a little bit hungry.

It's a nice machine, but you gotta know its limitations.
