I have a mid 2010 macbook which currently has 2gb of memory. I upgraded the operating system recently to Maverick and it has slowed down the performance of my computer some. It had already slowed down some before the update. Is the best solution to just inc. the Ram? If so what brand works best in the mac or does it not matter? mine requires a 1067 MHz DDR3.
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.6.8)
2GB of RAM is an absolute bare minimum for running Mavericks. Installing more would very likely improve its performance. See this Apple article for specifications and replacement instructions - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651#link1
OtherWorld Computing and Crucial are both excellent sources for good quality RAM.
Best of luck.

They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/ - good place to buy RAM from all over the world. They also have an excellent memory selector that allows you to choose memory based on your computer's model
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp - another good, cheap place to buying RAM if you live in the U.S.
Here are video instructions on replacing the RAM on the White Unibody.
