So i have a Black Macbook 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz , 4.1
I currently am running Snow Leopard and wanted to see what the highest operating system is i could use?
There is 6gb of ram inside it yet i feel i am not actually getting use of the extra 2gb. I did hear that this was due to Snow Leopard not being able to be run in 64bit after a certain update, so after plenty of hunting and work arounds i can run my Mac at 64 bit, minus changing the display brightness or putting the Mac to sleep ever.
Still though i feel i am not getting the most out of my macbook, already have a Kingston 128gb SSD running all of my applications which speeds up things generally but still feel the mac could be running faster and using all of the 6gm of RAM.
Probably will upgrade to the new Samsung 850 pro SSD
The main cpu hungry app i use is Logic 9 and VM Ware Fusion. With Fusion i tried to allocate 3 gb of ram to both my mac and the virtual pc but this is when i noticed the mac going sluggish and was not really using the whole 6GB i have on board.
Hope one of you lovely Mac folk can help me out on this
