Hi, was wondering if you guys could offer me your opinion on some basic upgrading of my 8 year old Imac. Ive still got 10.5.8 version of OS X. In order to install a newer version of Safari and other apps I know I need more RAM. Only have the 1GB that came with machine. What would your recommendation be? Would a total of 4GB be enough to upgrade things? I only really use the mac to go online , create documents and save documents, store pictures and I'm not a gamer. Ive seen 4GB for around $25 or so. Is there a specific type of brand of RAM you would recommend? And once I do have the 4GB or whatever you recommend which versions of OS X and Safari would you recommend? Thanks for any help.
