[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1897546, member: 190607"] You shouldn't need any more RAM for Monterey than the amount that you found adequate for Big Sur. Newer versions of the Mac OS, as they have appeared for about the past decade, have become less RAM hungry rather than more. Apple has developed very advanced memory management, including memory compression. Extremely few users should need more than 8 GB of RAM.
