Review on 💪 Enhance Performance with OWC 12.0GB (8GB+4GB) DDR3 SO-DIMM Memory Upgrade Kit by Anthony Hicks

Late 2011 MacBook Pro i5 core. This increased along with the original 4GB of RAM and an activity monitor that indicated around 3GB was being used in basic web browsing. I dropped caution and upgraded to 16GB of RAM. The same activity shows more than 7GB of RAM in use! While macOS seems to manage the paging file well with a small amount of RAM, it definitely wants more if possible. I doubt RAM makes a MacBook any faster, but it allows for more efficient operation since data isn't constantly being cached to the hard drive when memory is running low.
