That¹s too much to spend for an extra 2GB I have 4 GB too. I think that's adequate for most uses (I even run all Adobe CS3 apps together, and still have some memory free).

As long as your OS is still supported and updated (10.9 Maverick still is), you're on the safe side. Besides, running an old OS is often even safer, since most hacks are written for recent OS versions. IMO, always running the latest OS version "just because Apple said so" is silly. Newer OS versions often bring slow down, new glitches, software incompatibilities, worse user-interface, and so on. Unless there's a real need, I stay with the OS that works best.

On average, gaming benefits - in descending order - from: - GPU speed - CPU speed - Ram available - And, in some kind of games, from mass storage speed (but not that much). With a Radeon 2600 HD Pro GPU 256 MB (I think), I'm afraid your iMac cannot be helped much for gaming - unless you're talking about relatively old games. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
