Hi nikhil.busted

Just checking that you realise you need to get 2 x 2 GB sticks of RAM... giving you a total of 4 GB...

Cheers,

Hey! I upgraged my RAM to 4GB and my Macbook is much smoother now. I also researched a bit about Mountain Lion and surprisingly it demands lesser RAM as compared to Lion, so now I'll be on an advantage at the time of release of Mountain Lion. Again thanks a lot.

Does the slowness have anything to do with the Number of icons or folders on the desktop?
