And like in math, this principle applies to your technology. At Other World Computing, this philosophy is put into practice when providing an easy equation for upgrading your machine. <strong>To put it simply: More Memory = A Faster Mac.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When using a computer, one of the most important factors is speed. Speed affects how smoothly applications will run and how many can run at once. Running multiple apps with insufficient memory can cause drastic slowdowns, costing you valuable work time. And programs like Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, iMovie, even iPhoto can be severely limited by too little memory.<\/p>\n<p>As outlined previously here at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macsales.com\/blog201\">OWC blog<\/a>, upgrading your memory is incredibly easy. All you need to do is check your model ID number with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macsales.com\/id\/\">\u2018About This Mac\u2019<\/a>. Then use OWC\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macsales.com\/memory\">memory guide<\/a>\u00a0to see how much your Mac can take and the cost. If you need help installing the memory, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macsales.com\/installvideos\">installation videos<\/a>\u00a0make this a simple \u201cDIY\u201d job for almost any Mac.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So how much <em>can<\/em> your Mac take? <strong>It may be more than you thought<\/strong>. Macs can take more than the factory-supported amount of memory and many models can take twice as much as Apple says they can. OWC has tested and certified the maximum amount of RAM all recent Macs can take and has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macsales.com\/maxram\">collected the information in one place<\/a>. Of course, you will want RAM that\u2019s certified to meet or exceed manufacturer specifications and comes backed by a Lifetime Warranty, such as OWC\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted while most Macs are user upgradeable, the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina display have their memory soldered-in, preventing aftermarket upgrading. You will likely want to make sure you get at least 8GB (preferably 16GB) when you order.<\/p>\n<p>So when you\u2019re looking to upgrade your Mac, remember the simple formula: <strong>More Memory = A Faster Mac. It just adds up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In mathematics, the easiest equations to solve are the simplest equations.
