[QUOTE="TenderSurrender, post: 383295, member: 19442"] Hey Everyone! I started a thread a while back about upgrading my ram on my macbook to 2GB... Well I went to crucial's website this morning and it seems they have dropped the prices :D So.. [URL="http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partredirector.asp?model=MacBook+2%2E0GHz+Intel+Core+Duo+%2813%2Dinch+White%29&partno=CT541623&ipartno=CT2KIT12864AC667"]Part No. CT541623 2GB kit (1GBx2), 200-pin SODIMM Upgrade for a Apple MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo (13-inch White) System[/URL] ^^ Does that look like the right stuff? ^^ How much of a difference will going from 512mb to 2GB make? I tend to use these apps the most... iPhoto Photoshop Elements 4.0 Neo-Office Garageband Firefox ---------------- iPhoto - I havent noticed it ever being that slow except perhaps when first loading the library, will this be improved or am i just impatient? Photoshop Elements 4.0 - The load time is very slow and applying any filters etc is slow. I beleive it runs under rosetta so the extra ram will surely help? Neo-Office - Seems ok to me, maybe a lil slow to start up thats about it. Garageband - Is fine until i start playing back midi tracks with 6+ Tracks on. Usually when i go past 6, garageband will stop playing with an error complaining about buffer. This will be improved by more ram yes? Firefox - Meh seems fine to me :D -------------- Sorry for the long post but i like to make sure ive got all the info i can in one go for you :) Thanks in advance for the help!! ~~ TS ~~ [/QUOTE]
