[QUOTE="Adric, post: 1406486, member: 245480"] I would recommend only 16 gigs. 32Gb is really expensive and you will never need that much. To put in in perspective, I just opened Photoshop CS5 Extended with a 2560 x 1440 image and it's only using 196.1 Mb of Ram (I currently have 16 Gigs installed in my machine and photoshop, mail, and safari all opened, I still have 76% of my memory free). I use Logic Pro mainly on my computer for my job (post production audio engineer) but I also have Soundtrack, Final Cut, Motion, Compressor, and Color and I have never dipped below 30% ram free even when running about 250 audio tracks and 20 or so MIDI synth tracks. The only time I almost ran out of Ram was one time when I made a mistake and didn't set in and out points on a 90 minute film and tried to import the entire thing into Motion. That was my fault though. [/QUOTE]
