Hey Everyone!
I started a thread a while back about upgrading my ram on my macbook to 2GB...
Well I went to crucial's website this morning and it seems they have dropped the prices
So..
Part No. CT541623 2GB kit (1GBx2), 200-pin SODIMM Upgrade for a Apple MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo (13-inch White) System
^^ Does that look like the right stuff? ^^
How much of a difference will going from 512mb to 2GB make?
I tend to use these apps the most...
iPhoto
Photoshop Elements 4.0
Neo-Office
Garageband
Firefox
----------------
iPhoto - I havent noticed it ever being that slow except perhaps when first loading the library, will this be improved or am i just impatient?
Photoshop Elements 4.0 - The load time is very slow and applying any filters etc is slow. I beleive it runs under rosetta so the extra ram will surely help?
Neo-Office - Seems ok to me, maybe a lil slow to start up thats about it.
Garageband - Is fine until i start playing back midi tracks with 6+ Tracks on. Usually when i go past 6, garageband will stop playing with an error complaining about buffer. This will be improved by more ram yes?
Firefox - Meh seems fine to me
--------------
Sorry for the long post but i like to make sure ive got all the info i can in one go for you
Thanks in advance for the help!!
