While most Macs now ship with between 4GB and 16GB of RAM, some older Apple Mac machines were fitted with less as standard. Plus the lower end of this range may not be enough for your uses. If your system is without sufficient RAM, you will experience slowness when launching programs, loading documents, and all sorts of other system uses.

If you look in the Memory section of the Activity Monitor utility you can see if your system is low on RAM. In OS X Mountain Lion and earlier there was a small pie chart which showed the amount of free RAM against that reserved for critical system processes. You might want to consider upgrading your RAM if the green area in the chart is often below about a quater of the chart’s area.

In OS X Mavericks Activity Monitor the Memory section in shows a Pressure chart instead. If you’re in the green your doing ok and it is indicating that your usage does not exceed the system’s memory capability. If this chart’s numbers are regularly high, you may need to upgrade your RAM.
