I would agree that 2GB is too little to run Mavericks well. 4GB seems fine, but of course more RAM is *always* better. On any laptop my rule is "First thing, maximize the RAM." > I've run MSOffice 2011 myself on my MacPro 4x2,66ghz, 16gb RAM, and MSO > is as slow as an overfatted snail.:-( - So I downgraded to MSO2008 again > which is much faster than 2011... The option to run 2008 disappeared for my wife earlier this year. She has to have 2011 to deal with the files she gets from admin. Every time there is a new OS X version I hear lots of complaints, and even more so for 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9. I am always confused since I think that, overall, OS X has been on a very steady trend upwards since the public beta. I think 10.7 was maybe a slght step down from 10.6, and there's (to my mind) absolutely no reason to run 10.8, but other than that... When I use the 10.6.8 machine I am astounded anew at how clunky it is compared to my 10.9 machines. -- If you [Carrot] were dice, you'd always roll sixes. And the dice don't roll themselves. If it wasn't against everything he wanted to be true about the world, Vimes might just then have believed in destiny controlling people. And gods help the other people who were around when a big destiny was alive in the world, bending every poor bugger around itself...
