Adding the extra ram might help with CS, but barring specific circumstances, noticeable performance gains diminish after getting above 1Gig. Once you get 10.5 installed, with the current RAM, install Menu Meters <http://tinyurl.com/8d5vn> and keep an eye on RAM usage. If you consistently find yourself with a very small amount free, boosting RAM will help. I have 768 megs in mine, and it runs fine (although I don't use CS at all on it). -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
