how much was it on before? somehow i've never really seen a RAM upgrade make that much of a perceived difference
Awesome! Jelly, my 2009 can only handle 8 GBSince I (very infrequently) work from home and access work systems via Remote Desktop I managed to talk the boss into funding a RAM upgrade for my early 2011 Macbook since it's been somewhat glacial lately.
16GB RAM installed last night and holy cow! Damn thing is now faster than tuna vindaloo through an albatross.
That's the same machine I got, yes you can go to 16, the OS and the motherboard both support it, Apple just never sold it with more than 8 from the factory.Actually the early 2011 model can only go up to 8GB according to Apple however some research told me you can go to 16GB unsupported. Might be worth investigation. PM Spectre with your exact model details and he should be able to confirm or deny.

50s40s technology
Found some "Made in U.S.-Zone-Germany" :lol:
Took delivery, configured, installed. Seems to work fine. Time will tell if they're reliable. Really easy to get up and running with, in any case.Three of these are being shipped to me at the moment. Asus RT-N12 D1.
This came in handy...Picked up some geek tools the other day:
Velleman VTLAN5 ethernet cable tester. Basically, you turn it on and it sends power over the leads one at a time and lights up a corresponding LED. The other end has the same setup of LEDs. If they light up in the same order, you know everything is OK. It cost about 12 euros, I think. I'm not going to buy a 500 euro Fluke just for my own hobbies.
... mostly because of this. I should've spent 4x the money and bought a Knipex or something.
Truth is spoken, especially when it comes to tech stuffImpulse purchases are the best.
