[QUOTE="Mark F, post: 670556, member: 12825"] On my Mid 2012 MacBook pro with Core i5 2.5 processor... best upgrade I have done with it was 16 gigs ram and a 500gig ssd hard drive. Officially it will only support 8 gigs but it actually supports 16 with the newest osx Put the old 500 gig hard drive in the place where the optical drive was and use it for extra storage like photos. [URL]https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-500GB-Ultra-NAND-SATA/dp/B072R78B6Q[/URL] According to everymac.com, yours is a late 2009 and can support up to 16 gigs. I would start at at least 8 and see if it speeds it up. Then go to a ssd upgrade.
