[QUOTE="AMACL, post: 1729488, member: 298303"] Thanks, Harryb. That's quite helpful. And Nick, thanks also. The problem is not OWC hardware - I ordered my extra memory from them in the US and the delivery and support were fine. I'm just saying I could not send my computer to OWC for them to install an SSD internally. I thought I understood the following: one should use the SSD as a startup disk and also to house applications so the latter will run faster. The internal HD should be used to house documents and other files. But Harry you say the updates go through the internal, so that means that applications are on the internal. I'm getting confused. My HDD is not too full - I've still got more than 25% free. I'm just looking for a bit more pep. And what about those beachballs? [/QUOTE]
