I have new intel imac 17" which I am thrilled to own. However, when I bought it I did not upgrade the ram or anything. The speed is excellent but I want to get call of duty 2 when it comes out for mac and I think I should probably add more ram if I plan to play it. So my question is... Is it better to buy another 512mb stick of ram and get duel channel power ( i believe the imac ram is duel channel) or would adding a gig stick be faster? I know that if you don't have two sticks of the same mb size the duel channel configuration doesn't apply. I know some people say more ram=faster but I'm not sure in the case of this duel channel stuff and whatnot... I mean, when I run a game it will just be the game running and OSX... nothing else. Otherwise the speed is fine for me just with 512mb.
and I just have to add this in... I LOVE THIS MAC! lol
Thanks in advance.
