[QUOTE="sirjamesofmac, post: 628661, member: 48118"] 2GB of RAM ? why would you build such a powerful machine and only run it with 2GB of RAM, even my macbook pro has 4GB of RAM ! I run illustrator photoshop CS3 and lightroom, very often all at the same time, whilst listening to itunes and flicking through various webpages while I work. My previous windows based machine really struggled to do this with 2GB of RAM, even though the processor was almost as fast as my macbook pro's, and it had twice the graphics card memory. apples operating system is efficient but I think its wrong to expect it to be so good it compensates to the tune of your current setup having half the amount of RAM of your previous setup ? Personally I would take advantage of all those RAM slots and be running at least 6GB of RAM if you've got a machine with such huge amounts of processing power. [/QUOTE]
