[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 329369, member: 2960"] One thing to keep in mind is that merely adding RAM does not make your computer faster. It will still function the same as it does now with routine tasks. Your web surfing will remain the same, your word processing will remain the same, email..etc. None of your daily mundane things like those will really change to any noticeable degree. Where you will notice a difference is with applications that require large amounts of RAM. If you use professional grade apps like Final Cut, Photoshop, Illustrator, Logic Pro...etc.... basically any editing applications for video, audio, or images then you will see a performance increase. You may notice an increase to performance with apps that aren't Universal binary yet, that need to run under Rosetta. So to sum up... if you don't use editing apps like any of those mentioned, then you aren't likely to see any grand increase in performance. [/QUOTE]
