I put 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD in place of Superdrive in same machine recently, installed 10.10 and it will be fine for few more years for light to medium tasks. It is no faster than Mavericks on 2GB but it is definitely slower than 10.6 Snow Leopard. But if you need 10.10 it will also be fine. Clearly 10.9 behaves a lot more solid on the machine. ![]() Regarding OS X choice it is either 10.9 as more polished or 10.10 as the latest. It supports up to 2x4GB SO-DIMM DDR3-1066 modules(choose big names like Hynix, Samsung, Crucial for compatibility). Then I would say add 8GB while you are there. And it is not that hard really with this machine see instruction. At least latest NTP patch doesn't apply to it. Basically I’m trying to install on a blank hard-drive, the above hoot works fine all the way until the reboot. ![]() I also have run into the EFI booting issue. It will be fast though few resource hungry apps or web pages can bog it down.Īnother minus of the path is that Snow Leopard being released Jis going to be unsupported soon if not already.
