Not long ago i ask a question about mac memory and how much I need.
I am still confused on how much I need 2,3,or 4GB I have had an email from Crucial and there advise was to purchase 4gb due to the price etc.
Now I have ask a very good friend of mine who been using a mac for years and his advise is I would be wasting my money on purchaseing any sort of memory as I would not use it.
I use the mac for web browsing,building my website and trading on e-bay but I also like to convert video and then stream it to the xbox 360 via connect360 I have notice I can plug in a usb hard drive to the xbox360 and run my video dircetly from the usb hard drive and display it on my 40" hd tv.
So i am now convering a video to HD ( hd.264 ? ) and then play that via the hard drive plug in to the xbox 360 but so far it taken over7 hrs with around 30% left to convert now my my imac is an iMac 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (20-inch) MA876LL now if i max the memory to 4gb will it be better or faster at converting my videos to HD I am using Toast 9 to convert can anyone advise me that if i did Max it out would be better at what i am doing or do you agree with my friend that I would be wasting my money.
Please advise as no one like to waste money and it might be better spent else were
