Magic 8-ball says "Answer hazy: ask again later"
The standard answer "should I add more RAM?" is: "If your system bottleneck is
memory, adding more RAM will help."
If you boost it to 4 gigs, you'll get the use of 3 gigs of RAM. You'll lose a
smidge of performance by not getting RAM interleaving (which IIRC Intel iMacs
will take advantage of) but you'll gain a gig of RAM.
However, if you're currently not constrained by RAM, you won't see any
performance improvement; in fact you'll only see the smidge of performance
degradation.
A very intelligent email... Personally i don't have to worry one way or
another.
Financially i am set a little.
And memeory wise I am fine within the confines of what i want to be doing.
