Title: More memory
Post by: Pastis on June 19, 2009, 04:26:33 PM
Tech bod suggested more memory might speed things up; fairy nuff says I. He even bookmarked the one to buy which I've duly done and here it sits not two feet away.

It'll go into one of the four slots; piece of cake.

Open up the box and all four slots are occupied  Banghead  I await his email response  ::)

Before you swap the memory over is your machine rigged for dual channel memory?

If 2 slots are a different colour to the other 2 then you may need to pull 1 pair out as if the memory doesnt match it can get more confused than BM with a set of shower instructions.

Bit of a bind trying to figure out which slot was which though but I figured if I took one of them out and started up again the system profiler would tell me which was missing... which it did. Simples, apparently.
