- 27" iMac (2.7 GHz i5, 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD, OS X 10.8.4)
The MacBook Pro I'm currently using seems to be chugging along more slowly than my old PC when I use Photoshop. The MBP is 2.26GHz, 2GB of 1067MHz DDR3 RAM, and the old PC was 2.0GHz with 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 RAM.
Might this have something to do with the display I'm using? It's the 30" Apple cinema display - would the system chug more slowly due to the fact that I'm loading "X" amount of images into Photoshop and it has to draw each one to fill a 30" screen? I doubt it's this but I don't know for sure. Would I benefit from more system RAM? Is there a way to upgrade the video card?
Also, any tips to optimize OSX performance overall? Thanks!
