VAT). not the greatest timings, but very much faster than the swapfile. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] olympicyes@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I do wish Apple had dimm slots for “slow” ram just to get the numbers up. IMO the 8GB model isn’t a serious offer and is to be ignored by anyone who tells the difference. That said, If I had only $200 for upgrades on a Mac I’d spend it on ssd. I had a 32/512 MacBook and I wish I’d paid up for 1TB. 16/1TB would’ve been more useful. permalink fedilink source parent
