[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 882018, member: 56379"] Ram really does not make things (such as individual programs) run faster in most cases. Your CPU and video hardware are the main drivers of how well a program runs. Why are you so concerned about how fast Spotlight runs. Spotlight is just a search program. Has your hard drive been "indexed" by Spotlight? Indexing is what helps Spotlight run quickly. A faster hard drive can help Spotlight run faster...due to a faster rpm speed & faster transfer rates. But again my question is...why are you so concerned about Spotlight running fast? Unless we are talking about a different Spotlight program. You also didn't mention what computer model you have...so if it's an older/slower computer...that could be the problem as well! - Nick [/QUOTE]
