RAM

Here’s the situation.

Your machine is running slow. A friend told you that a RAM upgrade will help, but you don’t know when asked how much RAM (Memory) you have and how it is distributed in your machine.

To find out how much RAM your machine has, just go to the Apple Menu and select “About this Mac”.

Next, click the “More Info” button to open the Apple System Profiler.

Once the Apple System Profiler has been opened select the “Memory” item from the left-hand side bar and this will display the desired info in the profiler window. It also (sometimes, but not always) displays the type of RAM your machine uses.
