[QUOTE="brkit2012, post: 1604965, member: 333028"] Hi guys, I have decided to update my mid 2012 MacBook Pro that currently has 4 GB of memory with some new 16 GB RAM and perhaps replace the hard drive with SSD. It has started feeling sluggish in the last few months. :Not-Amused: I have read that replacing these two things will make a major difference in the performance. As for the RAM, I have two options that match the specs for my comp from apple's website, anyone know it they're any good? I have never replaced the RAM on any computer before.
