[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 881744, member: 24098"] Probably not. Your fans kick up as the CPU generates increased heat. If they're loud, the bearings are likely failing in the fans and are in need of replacement. Memory will make a computer that is starved for it, run more efficiently. But it is a common misconception that it will "add speed". If you open Activity Monitor and click on the System Memory tab, you should see a pie chart. Open up all of your most commonly used programs. If the majority of the chart is green, you don't need any more memory. [/QUOTE]
