[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 1699212, member: 51635"] If you replaced 4GB of RAM with 16GB, and a 250GB 4200rpm hard drive with an SSD, it's normal for everything to slow down. .... ? Why is that even a possible answer? Did you do any kind of benchmarking to come to this conclusion? How are you basing the "seems to be running slower"? It should boot in seconds and it should rarely if ever beach ball while doing things. What OS version are you on? SSDs are a bit of a newer tech and Apple leans heavy on them in later OS X releases. I'd recommend at least 10.10 or 10.11. [/QUOTE]
