[QUOTE="p_rod, post: 1806526, member: 174646"] [B]UPDATE!!![/B] Hey, everyone! I promised I'd respond when I updated my memory, so here goes. About a week ago a package from Otherworld Computing arrived, and in less than 3 minutes (thanks to one of their videos) my photography iMac went from 8 gigs to a total of 24 gigs of memory. I thought tripling the RAM would do the trick, and for all general purposes, it has. Beachballs are now an extreme rarity (yes, I do see one occasionally when copying lots (hundreds) of large files (averaging 15-30 mb apiece) to a standard thumb drive). When copying to an external SSD drive via Thunderbolt cable? Haven't seen one yet! :-) Importing and exporting photos from the HD to both Lightroom and Photoshop are much faster too...so for a reasonable amount of money the extra memory has been a plus. I hope all of you had a good turkey day yesterday and that the "turkey coma" didn't hit you too hard! 8-) Cheers to all! Pat [/QUOTE]
