[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1531387, member: 56379"] To be honest no. In most situations you don't/won't need 16gig of ram (but who knows in the future). You did mention using Photoshop. Photoshop does like lots of ram...so when working with Photoshop...the 16gig of ram may help. These days...most folks can get by pretty well with 4gig of ram. 8gig of ram is a better place to be. 16 gig of ram is probably much more than the average person needs at this point in time. But if history teaches us anything...there will certainly be a day when even 16 gig won't be enough!;) But hey...if the 16gig ram upgrade didn't cost too too much...then it's always nice to have if you keep the Mac-Mini for a long time.:) If you're talking about installing the ram upgrade...I've never backed anything up before doing a ram upgrade. But on the other hand...if you have stuff that needs to be backed up...that "stuff" should be backed up already...regardless of doing a ram upgrade.;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
