using a 4 GB and an 8 GB in the remaining two slots of late 2012 Mac goes against some recommendations of either using a pair or 4s or 8s?
Asked by: Larry
The only difference might be a very slight performance drop on applications that are memory intensive, like Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut Pro, etc... For most purposes you will never see any difference at all.
