Do I need a larger internal hard drive?
To see how much space you have left on your internal Mac hard drive, click its icon on your desktop. Then go to the File menu and choose Get Info. The info window will show your hard drive's capacity and available gigabytes. We recommend that you leave 10% of your hard drive free for daily use. (For example, if you have a 200GB hard drive, you should keep about 20GB available).
If you have less than 10% of your hard drive capacity remaining, you have a few choices:
How to remove extra applications from your Apple Mac hard drive.
Make sure you have the original installation disks and installation codes for any applications you may want to run again. If you've downloaded any important applications online, it's a good idea to burn copies of the installation files to a CD or DVD just in case. Once you've confirmed that you have everything you need in case you want to run that application again, you can uninstall it. Do this by dragging the application icon into the Rubbish bin.
How much memory (RAM) do I currently have?
To check how much memory your Mac currently has installed, go to the Apple menu in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. Select "About This Mac" from the Apple menu. That screen will show the total amount of memory (RAM) your Mac has installed.
Next click on the "More Info" button on the "About This Mac" screen. The System Profiler will appear. Select "Memory" from the options on the left column. This screen will show how many memory slots you have in your Mac to install memory (RAM) and what they currently contain. Keep in mind that if your slots are full, we'll have to take out some of the existing RAM to install larger Memory chips
My Mac seems slow, will adding more RAM help?
One way to check is to go to / Applications / Utilities and open the Activity Monitor. Click on the System Memory tab and watch the graph as you work. If you have enough memory, the pie chart should continue to have chunks of green (free memory) or blue (inactive memory) throughout your tasks. If the pie chart fills up with red (wired memory) and yellow (active memory), your computer is probably being slowed down because it is using all the memory available. While in Activity Monitor, also look down at the bottom where it says Page ins/out. If the outs are growing, you need more RAM
