berndt said for some unknown reason: >More RAM in general is good; but don't buy more RAM than you need. Why not? The thing is that if you buy what you think is enough and you suddenly realize you need more, because you get a new app or start working on bigger files or whatever, you'll have to get a bigger memory chip, which means you have to get a new chip *and* get rid of the old one. That's a lot of work to save $50. It's a better to purchase a little more than what you need and have room for growth.
I still contend that 512 MB still *guarantees* a better experience of OS X. Have any idea how much RAM the window manager takes? If your comps video card does NOT support Quartz Extreme, surplus RAM can make up for some (but not all) of that performance loss. (Quartz Extreme supported video cards speed up screendrawing under OS X) ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
