[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1622242"] 4Gb memory should be plenty. Given you are at Mavericks, it will run Yosemite. BTW, next time somebody asks what Mac (particularly here) the answer is to be found by clicking on the Apple icon upper left, About this Mac and then just below the name of the machine is something like "Early 2011." I've attached a screen shot of what I'm talking about from my MBP. That way we know exactly what your machine is capable of handling. BTW, if you decide to go with it, I'd recommend a full backup, then a clean install, reformatting the HD, then restoring from the backup. IF you have "registered" software like MS Office and Adobe Creative suite stuff (PS, etc), you may need to de-register them before letting them be erased by the installation so that you can reinstall and re-register them when done.
