Added a page for my mac. I will be recording what I install and why on that page. One additional tip from studying computer architecture. When you’re deciding where to spend money increasing your computer’s performance, start with the slowest things first, namely the hard drive. A standard MacBook Pro 17 already comes packed with high performance but I did add one item above standard. I got the 7200 rpm 500 GB hard drive compared to the standard 5400 rpm drive.
Of course there are exceptions. Your mileage might vary if you’re running some particular memory intensive app or cpu intensive app all the time, but for most people, the hard drive upgrade will be the most satisfying.
