Bruce Kieffer Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Will VW benefit from more increasing the base 4GB of RAM in an i7 iMac? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Only if you are running short of ram now. Do you run a lot of apps at the same time? Do large renderings? Ram is cheap, I would max out. Quote Link to comment
Bryan G. Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Bruce, Yes more memory is always better, I found out myself that I run multiple programs at once and ram is all gone by the time I am ready to draft. this slows down the system drastically due to the system will use virtual memory on the hard drive as replacement. Try going to Activity monitor in you utilities folder select the system memory tab near the bottom page ins are your ram usage , page outs are well not. I increased my ram last winter and my page outs are almost always at zero. PS ram is really cheap the more you have the better(I guess within reason). Quote Link to comment
Yoginathaswami Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Aloha, Bruce: It really helps when you are running several applications i.e. application like Photoshop etc. which takes up a lot of memory. Macs are so stable...most user don't reboot them very often. I noticed my iMac's speed improves with at least once a week reboot. Quote Link to comment
