Get everything you need to upgrade your 2010 Mac mini SSD for a total system performance and capacity boost. All SSDs are backed by a lifetime warranty. Feb 03, 2010 Jerry Goldstein has a new Mac and wonders if it's worth installing either anti-virus or anti-malware software. Jack Schofield Wed 3 Feb 2010 13.27 EST First published on Wed 3 Feb 2010.
I currently have a Mac mini mid 2010 version running 2gb of ram but looking into upgrading to the maximum 8gb.
Will this help my Mac mini cope with running the latest version of OSX ? I am currently using an old version Lion OS X and it runs smoothly with no issues but when I update to the newest software it is such a pain to use !! Slow and unbareable at times so I keep going back to the factory OS.
Would upgrading the ram solve this problem ? I Actually thought about buying a new machine but I really don't have the money at the moment but I need to be able to run the latest software for graphic design (photoshop) and Xcode for development which require the latest version of OS , But before I jump into upgrading id like to know its actually a solution to this problem before spending money on ram , Is my processor also the problem ?
