[QUOTE="rmathewson, post: 1663843, member: 116111"] My 2012 machine (Yosemite) is constantly starved for RAM. I've done numerous scans (Kaspersky, Spyware, etc. ) and run CleanMyMac 3 with moderate improvement. I've also set it to close all applications and start fresh with only Chrome opening at start. Despite all this, CleanMyMac shows that I typically have only 500MB free and sometimes less than 50. (As I type this with only Chrome, my password manager, Messenger and System Prefs open I have only 26MB available.) Is a RAM upgrade my only choice? [/QUOTE]
