You should be able to roll it back if you do a full backup first anyway, so it doesn't have to be a one way process. Your machine will have an SSD too, which also mitigates the issue to some degree as the OS swaps the contents of RAM out to the HD when there isn't enough RAM and your HD is quite fast in relative terms. Recent versions of OS X (10.9 onwards) have memory compression, so that amount of memory should actually be less of an issue now than it is with older OSs. posted by leticia to Computers & Internet (19 answers total) 2 users marked this as a favorite I'm generally of the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" school of thought, but I don't know how to balance having a well-running machine that isn't up to date against having an up-to-date machine that runs slow or has other problems. I don't sync it much with my computer, but I've also just gotten a new full-time job after a long time just occasionally consulting, so I'm conscious of the fact that I'm going to be relying on both the iPad and the Mac a lot more now, and performance is about to matter a lot more, too. 2GB technically meets the requirements, but I've seen some commentary online that suggests 4GB is better.Īnyone out there running El Capitan with a similar setup? Any suggestions, recommendations or warnings?įWIW, I also have an iPad Mini 2, which I just upgraded to iOS 9. It's an Air, so upgrading the memory is not an option. I'm mostly worried about that 2GB of memory. But getting to the heart of my storage space problem is a question for another day.) (I only have ~6GB free out of 120 GB, which makes *no* sense to me, except for the fact that I suspect I've misunderstood iPhoto and as a result have 2 copies of thousands of photos on my HD. The year/model is right, I've got 2GB of memory, and, while I don't have enough storage space right now, I can make that happen. My setup (Macbook Air 13", late 2010 edition) meets the minimum requirements for El Capitan, but just barely.
