How to prepare for Mavericks - Slow Mountain Lion

[StuartBell]

I have Mac mini with Mountain Lion which is running very slow. I want to update to Mavericks (after its release) but have doubt that it will my my Mac more slower.

Storage: 320 GB
Memory: 2 GB

What to do and how should I prepare for the new OS X.

Definitely upgrade your RAM. 2GB isn't enough to move a snail across the road today.

Upgrade your RAM, and before you do anything else, back up your hard drive.

If your Mac is the model I'm thinking of, you should be able to upgrade it to 8GB, which will be more than sufficient for Mavericks. What's more, it'll give you a decent boost in Mountain Lion, too. I'm assuming your Mac is a 2010-era model - you can tell us which one it is by going to the Apple menu, selecting About This Mac and then clicking on the More Info... button.
