[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1622455, member: 71075"] If you've got free memory already, adding more isn't going to reduce how much you're using (just like adding more gas to a car doesn't make it more fuel efficient). In fact, adding more memory may result in increased usage. For example, the kernel_task process, which often uses more memory than anything else, will likely use more if it's available. [/QUOTE]
