[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 366989, member: 2960"] Yes....... .... and No. It all depends on what applications you are running and how much RAM you have available at any given time. Yes, with more RAM you can open more applications simultaneously. Yes, applications that are RAM intensive will run smoother. However, if you are not utilizing all of your RAM now; then no matter how much you add to it, any difference would be negligible since you aren't fully exploiting what you currently have. The minimum for OS X 10.4 is 256 MB of RAM. I have usually gone by the belief that one should at least triple whatever the minimum is, in order to have the best possible experience. That would mean you would want at least 768 MB. I would start there for basic uses. If your needs require more heavy use of Professional-grade, RAM "hungry" apps then 1 Gb would be a good starting point. [/QUOTE]
