[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1556790, member: 8287"] Another thing to add to your PRO list is the Memory Compression. It really seems to help with 4GB RAM and memory usage. Also if you use more than one display, Multi Display support it way improved. Since you own a newer iMac though I would upgrade to 8GB if you can afford it. but I find Mavericks with Memory compression better in handling 4GB RAM than Mountain Lion and Lion did with the same RAM. With enough RAM Mavericks flies! It's fast. FAster than Lion and even ML. The only negative for me is some video codecs work under Mavericks. I have a Work around that works for me. [/QUOTE]
