[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 29548, member: 3542"] There's a very simple way to tell if adding more RAM will speed up your system. Open the "Activity Monitor" on your system, and go to "System Memory". You'll see a line titled "Page ins/outs:" and it will have two sets of numbers "xxx/xxx". That second set of numbers, is the important one. Ideally, it should never get above zero...realistically it should stay under a couple hundred. If the number is above zero, then you can benefit from having more RAM. [/QUOTE]
