8Gb RAM that should give you a noticeable speed increase on your machine. 4Gb just doesn't cut it anymoreMerry Christmas, everyone at eiC! What Christmas gifts did you get?
I got 8 GB RAM to add to my iMac, a 9900 mAh external battery (iPhone charger), an Element iPhone case, an iTunes gift card and money to go towards a 2012 MBP in the Spring.
Yeah, I left the original 4 GB in so there is 12 now. I do notice a difference. The boot time is under a minute and PS opens in one second.8Gb RAM that should give you a noticeable speed increase on your machine. 4Gb just doesn't cut it anymore
I'm still waiting to open my presents...
We'll let the Galaxy tab slide... this timeJust some gift cards, I'm STILL waiting for my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Before you flame, I won it, so I don't really get to "swap" it for an iPad. Haha
Do you use SSD? I recently purchased a FitPC to run as a server so I can automate a few things at home. Works great with my ATV2 as well, I installed iTunes on Windows Server 2003 and enabled Home Sharing. Anyways... I've got a 30Gb internal SSD and a 1Tb external HD. With an SSD everything loads pretty much instantaneously. I've been thinking of ripping the optical drive out of my MBP for months now, I rarely use it so I'm probably going to replace it with an SSD.Yeah, I left the original 4 GB in so there is 12 now.

No, it's a 1 TB HDD. I'll probably get a Mac Pro with an SSD next time I upgrade.Do you use SSD? I recently purchased a FitPC to run as a server so I can automate a few things at home.

Haha when I joined the competition I actually wanted the Kindle. Ah well...We'll let the Galaxy tab slide... this time![]()
J/K.
Can't count on them for anything..My darn dog didn't get me anything.
PS takes the longest of everything I have to load. Even Final Cut X loads faster.Yeah, I left the original 4 GB in so there is 12 now. I do notice a difference. The boot time is under a minute and PS opens in one second.![]()
Now that's a proper geeky Christmas.Merry Christmas, everyone at eiC! What Christmas gifts did you get?
I got 8 GB RAM to add to my iMac, a 9900 mAH external battery (iPhone charger), an Element iPhone case, an iTunes gift card and money to go towards a 2012 MBP in the Spring.
I have the same sparkly Incase slider! It's so slick though I'm afraid I'm going to drop it haha.I got 21.5" iMac (2.7GHz) when I first came home from school like a week ago. This thing is gonna be a beast for writing lab reports. I also got a pair of sneakers I've been wanting, NHL GameCenter Live (already got around being "blacked out"), a ton of Pens stuff, and a crystal (aka SPARKLY!) Incase slider.
Best of all... no work/school until Jan. 4th.
Happy Holidays!
