In particular, Mac OS X don't even run well with only 4GB of RAM anymore, and older machines use DDR2 where 4GB SO-DIMMs (and any other sticks based on 2Gbit DDR2) are rare and expensive. I wonder what is the current status of this bug BTW: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/42426/can-i-upgrade-my-macbook-mid-2010-to-16gb-of-ram-2x8g http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/42426/can-i-upgrade...
- pornel 11y agoI've upgraded 4GB 2007 iMac to Mavericks and it worked very well (for its age). Mavericks introduced RAM compression, so for RAM-constrained machines it may be even better than the previous OS.
- glassx 11y ago> In particular, Mac OS X don't even run well with only 4GB of RAM anymore It actually runs great. I'm using a 2011 Air w/2GB (cheapest back then) and El Capitan and it's almost as fast as my 24GB Mac Pro. I push it a bit with Logic Pro X + drum samples (for my V-Drums), but it handles that without complaints. But for web, videos and programming there isn't much of a difference.
