[QUOTE="JimInSD, post: 1607744, member: 313239"] When I am not sure which DIMM to buy, I use their product guide. If you know the specs of your machine, choose Crucial Advisor tool. If you are unsure about choosing, use their Crucial System Scanner. A small program will be downloaded to your machine, scan its specs and go back to the Crucial website with suggestions on upgrading. It works well and it's not invasive. I guess "normal" speed is relative, lol. When I first upgraded to Mavericks, the MacBook Pro was slower than Snow Leopard on my old 2006 32-bit iMac. After the RAM upgrade, the speed felt equivalent to my old iMac. After the SSD installation, it seemed the computer speed more than doubled. I would get no delays and no spinning beach balls.
