[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1892976, member: 131855"] As usual, the guys have provided excellent advice. Can I make one suggestion with regards to identifying the amount of memory you may need. It's not a perfect solution but it might give you some numbers to work with: 1. It's best to start this little experiment from scratch. If your Mac is already running reboot it and log in as usual. 2. Open Activity Monitor, in Applications/Utilities and click on the Memory tab. Move the window somewhere where it can be seen. 3. Go about your normal routine but be sure to include your most demanding tasks. Keep an eye on the memory window and monitor the amount of memory being used. If your memory pressure stays green, the amount of memory you have may be sufficient If the graph is turning yellow you may need a bit more memory when you purchase the new machine. [/QUOTE]
