Interesting, I just looked at: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-24-inch-aluminum-specs.html Standard RAM: 1 GB Maximum RAM: 6 GB* Details: 1 GB of RAM is installed as a single module. *Apple officially supports 4 GB of RAM, but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module. Mine currently has 3GB of RAM, and I thought it was maxed out. It has definitely been running into performance issues lately, especially with bigger raw files in lightroom. I wonder how much difference it would make to boost from 3 to 6GB, and how much work cost it would be. > -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
