Computer Boost
04/02/2009

Want to know the easiest, least expensive way to improve the performance of your Mac or Windows computer? Add more RAM. Increasing the amount of memory will give your operating system and any programs you have loaded up more room to work, let you load and work on more data without accessing the machine's hard drive as often, and generally make things snappier and quicker.

This is especially true in the world of music software, where virtual instruments and processors have gotten more and more resource hungry.
