[QUOTE="BlueMac, post: 877463, member: 66150"] As said, if you have the extra money, then go for the 4GB. You shouldn't need more than that. Unless you plan on running alot of applications at once. With my iMac I only have 2GB, and I often find that it gets kind of slow when I have iTunes open (however, I only have about 400 songs), Safari, Adium and a few other medium intensity applications open. 4GB is a must, however, if you plan on doing some mid to heavy weight photo editing, since this can really do a number on performance. If, for whatever reason you feel it is necessary to upgrade your RAM to a higher level, you can replace it easily, as CR mentioned. It is probably better for an Apple genius to do it for you though, if you feel you are not experienced enough to do so yourself. [/QUOTE]
