[QUOTE="josephfazioli, post: 1366544, member: 85384"] Upgrading from 2 to 4 will be a noticeable difference when running multiple apps. It doesn't sound like you use many processor-intensive programs like video and audio editors, so an upgrade to an i5 or i7 may not be necessary. Upgrading to 8 would be great, but quite a but more money. Are you playing games often? If the iMac became your primary photo editing machine, I bet the MacBook pro with 4 gig ram would suit you for at least 2 more years. The ram swap is pretty easy. I went from 2 to 4 about 2 months after I bought it with little effort. [/QUOTE]
