[QUOTE="dauber, post: 630603, member: 48449"] If you really want to see your upgraded RAM in action, then take out the 4 gigs and put in your original RAM. Now, load a graphics-heavy web site in Firefox. Now, shut down your MacBook and put the 4 gigs back. Go to the same site. Notice how instantly the site draws itself (that is, compared to 1 gig)? I noticed a difference immediately when I upgraded. And no, it's [i]not[/i] because of the cache. :) BTW...IMHO, if you need more than 4gb, then something's seriously wrong...probably means you play games WAY too much. :) For cryin' out loud, I own hard drives that are smaller than 4gb!
