Delivery side were installed 2x 1GB Riegel. This was me with the time too little. Where the Mac at the beginning was quickly getting more programs and files but accumulate at slowing the system over time. After the same bolt of Kingston were as 4GB variant also rated very good, this was also a purchase option. However, since often times programs like Photoshop or Aperture running that require a lot of RAM, the 40 Euros more were a good investment.
The installation is relatively simple. Just a tutorial video on Youtube to watch own Mac model, because everything is very well described. In 15 minutes, the bars were installed with me. Used only a small Phillips screwdriver is to release the screws on the bottom of the device.
Comparing before installation to afterwards is already noticeable. When the Mac Activity Monitor opens (easy with Spotlight enter) should in no one else other open programs in the tab "Memory" at least 20% green (ie free) be. The lay with me before fitting just below. Working on fast was so unthinkable, especially when the programs were then opened for now. After installation it is exposed at 75%.
To test the memory on his performance, I opened just once all programs (about 20) which I had at the same time in the Dock. I was surprised. No "hanging". After about 15 seconds, all programs were open. CMD + Tab to jump back and forth runs absolutely smoothly. and also working with the programs themselves is completely liquid. My subjective impression, also the start-up of the Mac and the opening of the programs is now faster.
Conclusion: If you only have 2 GB of RAM - an absolute must. Who the 40 euro more of the 4GB on this 8GB kit not too hurt, should definitely order the 8. Then you are prepared for the future with his Mac.
