[QUOTE="Thundermoon1994, post: 492180, member: 24303"] Let me start this off by saying that I don't use any of the horribly RAM-intensive apps that a lot of MBP owners use. However, I was wondering if upgrading the ram would help. I've noticed that if I run the same apps on my MBP that I ran on my iBook (640MB) that my computer uses more ram sometimes than my iBook even had. I know that running from RAM is faster than virtual memory. If I upgraded my RAM, would my computer take advantage of this and allocate more of the data currently running from virtual memory to running from RAM? I don't even know if that makes sense! LOL [/QUOTE]
