Hi all, i'm currently using late 2009 Macbook white.
I found that the macbook actually quite slow when i open few program.
For now, i'm opening Adium, Transmission, Safari, Real Player, and Tweetdeck.
So when it comes to switching programs each other, it become very slow.
Especially when i drag the real player movie time, to move fast forward or backward.
Anyone experience this? Can share how should i do?
Is that RAM not enough? I'm using 2GB fyi.

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Nov 26 2009, 03:19 PM) TS do us a favour will u? launch the apps u've mentioned n try playing said video in realplayer. then launch Activity Monitor (use spotlight). on the top section sort by RSIZE, then at the bottom pick System Memory. take a screenshot n post it up here  maybe we can try to determine ur problem page out depends on the page in. but looking at ur apps i believe u have enough RAM and free HDD space so they shouldnt be a problem. weird, when i try launch back the system that i mentioned. The page out become 16.7MB instead of 170+mb that i said previously. wtf.. will be observe for a while more. If something goes weird i ll post the screen shot out. hehe. |

Mind to teach what's apple hardware test? Coz i plan to check mine also. |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ May 14 2011, 08:59 AM) what do u mean by 'can do the job'? are you trying to compare a slow cpu / more RAM comp to a fast cpu / less RAM comp?
better CPU = generally faster computer
more RAM = can do more things at once
8gb mbw 2009 maybe only will feel faster (compared to the 2010 mbp) at >4gb load.
maybe u can tell us what's on ur mind n why are u comparing between the two? and what job are we talking about here? No, my mean is is MBW late 2009 can support up to 8GB? since the max i heard is 6GB. Just wonder would it perform full 8GB performance. |

QUOTE(RA54 @ Jul 14 2011, 02:24 PM) I thought so too, eyes almost popped out when they replied me. Where is a good alternative place to get it upgraded apart from Machines? I know many would say DIY but i am no techy person as most guys would be. Hahaha thanks! Seriously it's really easy to DIY yourself leh. Save the RM900.  Just follow the procedure from your Macbook user manual / Youtube.. Never try never know |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Sep 6 2011, 12:37 PM) performance improvement for RAM upgrade greatly differs from machine to machine. it really depends on ur usage. if u dont do a lot of high memory stuff, then u wont see any difference No, not asking of the performance of usage. I mean is Macbook white 09 able to hold up to 8GB RAM or not? Not sure if this question being answered before but i greatly appreciate if there's reply. hehe.. |
