[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1143928, member: 83420"] Hi I do a lot of complex 3D medical imaging manipulation and I have the maximum of 16GB RAM on my newest iMac. I do not have the technical knowledge to enter the debate on the optimum RAM versus processor speed and all the rest. But I like to learn and I wonder why chscag advises against Apple's pre-installed RAM in favour of a third party which presumably necessitates that the owner buys the RAM separately and then has to install it. Are the advantages of doing this so overwhelming that learning how to go about installing the RAM overrides the convenience of a package from Apple? My computer immaturity means that I am terrified of tinkering with my iMac which would seem to put me a disadvantage. No offence intended. Genuinely curious. Ian [/QUOTE]
