[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1144118, member: 140470"] As already mentioned, too much RAM is better than not enough but everyone can easily check to see if they need more RAM by starting up Activity Monitor in their Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Check it at the end of the day on a busy computer day and see if you have a lot of page outs and swap usage. If you have zero for both then it's most likely you have enough RAM for most of your tasks. [/QUOTE]
