Hi just a quick question my (2.0Ghz, 1GB RAM 80GB HD) White MacBook often creates a lot of noise due to the fan kicking in.
This happens more so when watching videos on YouTube, recoding video with iMovie HD, or using large programs such as photoshop
I am wanting to remedy this problem as it can be very distracting and annoying.
My question is; would upgrading to 4GB RAM easy the strain on my system enough to stop the fan kicking in as often? Or should I be looking for upgrades else where?
The only other problem that I can identify is that it is possibly the lack of HD space (currently I only have around 20GB free) but I believe that RAM would be more beneficial than a HD upgrade
I can provide screen shot of my memory usage if needed?
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Adam
