Hello,
I have to upgrade my ibook ram asap but was having a discussion with a computer "expert" friend of mine. He told me that 512 ram would be more than sufficient for my uses, i.e internet, word processing, light photoshop, music and dvd watching. he told me the performance advantage with going 768 or 1.25 gig would be negligible for the average user. i understand that more ram the better to be safe but is his assessment correct? i am definitely on a shoestring budget after purchasing my ibook as well as other expenses in my life. Advice please?
