Hi, not for nothing, in my opinion, the speed of the processor is often over rated. either way, Adding an SSD, and upgrading Ram, 9 times out of 10 will increase performance more than upgrading your processor. It's also a less involved business. And in regards to just upgrading your RAM, that's probably 4 times cheaper than upgrading a processor. Unless we are talking about going from a stock 13 inch MBP to a quad core new 15 inch MBP with the fancy new display, the processor in the 13 inch is plenty fast for what the majority of people want to do.
