Now its some where in 2012 the memory folks want to sell more memory and people are bugging them to test the system with the newer 4 GB modules. But Apple had already ended the production of this system (Feb 2012) so Apple never attempted to test the system with more memory. Within a few years memory manufactures came out with 4 GB memory modules. So at that time point Apple did all of there testing with these two setups hence what Apple supports. Apple sold the system in two configs one with 2 GB and the other with 4 GB. So lets start off thinking back in 2010 where things stood. Has anyone got experiences of doing either of these and the performance improvement? with 64 MB cache), Or remove the optimal drive and add an SSD (for the system and apps) keeping the HDD for users data. But there is only 2GB of RAM - so I want to increase this enough so that the OS does not use virtual memory on the HD.Īlso, I plan to upgrade the stock HDD for a hybrid drive (i.e. I am running Yosemite and progressively it now runs dog slow sometimes taking minutes to launch an application (such as Garageband).


Has anyone upgraded this model to 16 GB ?. I would like to know what is the maximum RAM that it can support?Įverymac says the maximum RAM is 16GB, and that *Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that it actually supports 8 GB of RAM running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" and 16 GB of RAM running OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or higher and the latest EFI update. Hi, I have a MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (Mid-2010), it is the model (White Polycarbonate Unibody).
