    Is 16gb of RAM on a 21.5 iMac enough?

    I do very minor video and photo editing for my family and my son does some for his YouTube channel. Not in 4k. Since the 21.5” iMac I want isn’t upgradable I’m getting 16gb with 552ssd. Is that sufficient enough RAM?

    Bought a 980 Ti — What am I doing? [Advice Please]

    I've been deaf to all the users making their Mac Pro's new again with Nvidia 9xxx series cards. I recently purchased a used ("seller refurbished") card off of Ebay from a guy in New York who allegedly buys "off-leased and some from our vendor with flashing service." I seriously am new to this —...

    iMac & Software for Blu-ray editing?

    Hey everyone, Sorry if this comes off as a bit newbish, but that's what it kind of is. My iMac is from 2008 and it has become kind of a dinosaur and is pretty much no good for anything more than managing iTunes and surfing the web. Editing and creating video projects, etc. has become a big...

    In the last couple of weeks, people have reported being unable to alter the Word files I send them, which has previously not been a problem.
