My HD crashed two or three years ago and I?ve replaced it by one of 1 TB, the RAM is at the maximum, this model can not be upgraded, it still admit arrive to 6 GB but the improvement will be so slow. I look to change mine as soon as I can because it works slow with Capture One 8. Ask other Technical Services, like: http://www.macnificos.com http://www.microgestio.com At this moment what I want buy is a Mac mini with a good Monitor for photography Un abrazo Lluis El 08/10/2015, a les 18.42, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand at gmail.com> va escriure: > No, I was genuinely interested why there seems to be an OS upgrade every > few months that causes all sorts of problems every time.
