[QUOTE="krs, post: 1830535, member: 67742"] Thanks, at least I know now what is meant by "Memory Pressure" I ended up increasing my 2012 Mini RAM to 16GB simply because the price at the time wasn't much more than for 8GB - I found at the time it really made a performance improvement coming from 4GB, but I'm also still running the original spinner drive. I run the Mac 24/7 so boot up time is not an issue and I also leave all the apps running that I use regularly so I don't think changing the drive to an SSD would do much for me. The 2017 MBa I just bought has an SSD in it - yeah it's faster to boot up and launch an app the first time, but after that I don't see a noticeable boost in performance. [/QUOTE]
