Make. That. Now: Computer Components

Going from a meager 4GB of factory RAM to 32GB of storage with two of these Crucial 2X8GB memory kits has been incredibly helpful for my 27" iMac Mid 2011 that I use every year Day for many hours and rely on it for both work and play. I updated it a few weeks ago and have never looked back. Now I have no more spinners or spinning beach balls. No more cherry colored moving blocks in the "Memory" section of Activity Monitor - just a thin green line at the bottom of the window. No more video buffering. No more annoying error messages in browsers. No more mandatory "force logoff" actions. unwanted reboots. No more waiting, waiting and waiting for files to download No more slow Time Machine backups No more annoying crashes or freezes I can (and t ue) Using two different memory-intensive browsers at the same time with over 20 open tabs in e, without performance degradation and with huge amounts of memory available for reservation. And opening three or four other programs with lots of memory at the same time with the browsers open doesn't affect the iMac in any way. It was easy to fix and easy to do for those who are usually uncomfortable with it. things with electronic devices. The process takes about five minutes and is explained in detail on the manufacturer's website and in helpful YouTube videos available everywhere. Everything worked exactly as prescribed with no hiccups or unexpected issues. So once again "do it now" if you are having problems with your computer and only have the minimum memory specified by the manufacturer. This is not enough for modern programs, applications and operating systems and this fix really works.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • For a long time
