They get fussy as you approach 90%+ capacity.

You can put 8 GB in there which will help.

One thing you can also grab is this

Let's you monitor RAM usage and purge memory cache that does not clean itself.

It's free and sits up in the menu bar so you can always see what's going on.

I run it on all my machines and it comes in handy.

Downloaded memory clean, and its hovering at right about 25% of memory available.

My HD is very full. I purge stuff every few months, but I still think a bump to 1tb would prolong the life of this computer. What would you recommend?
