So there are some things that i mull through and remember, when I was in your chair, making similar comparisons in what to do and how to do it, and modifying my machine. not interested in moving forward with adobe for the buy in and live comfortably without it. not nearly as much LOL.īut I lost all my old adobe apps. mainly when you start wanting to do things like run parellels and windows, or you have a project and you need this plus that, but you are misisng a component. but overall, iOS compatibility.Īnd you know on my older mac, i have a 2009/2010 white case, and yah, it didn't reach the speeds and processing that I personally required, and always had glitches, and funky electronic cul-de-sacs in working the machine. I prefer maverick, hate the name, lost some things that I loved. but the 2011 has graphics, like others above say. I wouldn't want to gloat if you cannot upgrade to 16g but if you couldn't, and you really want maverick, popping up to a late 2011 might be an upgrade choice, since there's hard cut offs by year on older models, which I absolutely despise that issue with manufacturers. but for regular programs, i can use the machine with similar speed to my thought process, which is very scary. but with some updates, some recognition of the memory heavies. and i had a few little glitchy things here and there. I broke a sweat putting them in and powering up. going to crucial, making the double checks, helped me correct a potential error I almost made during ordering. but doing the research is what had me going, dipping into some forums, doing some reading. I got the type they indicated, which abrody is very adept, if you get it wrong, it can cause complications.įurther some did and it didn't work. But like whywutt, I went to crucial and got their confirmation on my model.

some could not, and there was a lot of anxiety that I had, in making that jump LOL.

I did some researching and found that my particular model can accept 16g. I have a 2011 MBP so my specs are probably different, however, mine was set max at 8g.

so i would think that he's had some experience. Should I get all 4?įrom what I can tell, they should work.Melophage has a 2010. I gather there are 4 slots, so I could get up to 16GB if I get 4, 4GB RAM. Would they all accept the same SSD/RAM upgrade parts?Īnd this RAM ( ). Since I'm upgrading the RAM and HD, does it even matter? I assume I have the basic model, but I'm not 100%. When I search the Crucial site, there are a lot of model numbers and cores. I'm a little unsure of the exact iMac model - there are a lot of different cores.

I think it's about time for the next upgrade. I upgraded my macbook pro (mid 2012) with Crucial SSD and RAM, and I love it.
