[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1755120, member: 131855"] You're right. I missed that the 13" had the 7.1 ID. Unless you routinely have several applications open at once or use your Mac for memory intensive tasks I'm not sure you would notice a huge performance difference. I went from 8 to 16 GB on my iMac but only because I found a pretty good deal at OWC for the chips I needed. Before buying additional memory Activity Monitor might give you a rough idea whether adding memory will help much. Try the following: 1. Reboot the Mac then Launch Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder). 2. Make sure to click on the memory tab. 3. Now launch programs and go about your usual tasks. Keep an eye on the memory pressure graph. If it is routinely showing yellow or green then additional memory may be useful. See [URL="http://appletuner.trendmicro.com/understand-memory-pressure-activity-monitor-mac-os-x/"]here [/URL]for example. [/QUOTE]
