[QUOTE="Dogbreath, post: 1564652, member: 171258"] Before I format and do a clean install of Mavericks, I planned on upgrading my RAM from 8GB to 16GB. My Mac specs are listed under my avatar. Even under extreme use and using my Mac Mini under a heavy load, I never saw the RAM usage go above 5GB. Would upgrading this Mini to 16GB of RAM be of any help? If I rarely use above 5 GB now, would having 16GB improve anything? Would Mavericks be able to utilize the full 16GB better and provide a huge performance boost or a significant processing speed increase? [/QUOTE]
