[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1504939, member: 56379"] For the tasks that you mentioned earlier...8gig for now would be fine. Many folks do fine with 4gig. The MacBook I'm using at the moment has 4gig of ram...and everything is fine.:) If you're getting a 27" iMac...the ram can be upgraded later (at anytime). If you're getting a 21.5" iMac...the ram is not upgradable after purchase...so you have to buy all the ram you will ever need at time of purchase. By the way...you shouldn't be buying a $3000 computer. At least here in the United States...the entry level 27" iMac is $1799.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
