The only thing I can see 16gb being usefull for is creating a 8gb ram disk and copying all of OS X over to it, along with whatever applications you use frequently. That'd probably be pretty quick, but I still don't see the need? :confused:

the need to bragg I guess should be considered :p and in the mean time let's get the G5 tower encrusted by swarovski chrystal... and get a bumpersticker saying: I have 8 or even 16GB in my G5 and you??
and do get special attention in the restaurant because you are important since you have that much ram to fiddle around with... I see the babes fighting for me allready: I want the guy with 8GB, no I want... could get ugly, hahaah.

well combatcolin, buy your 16Gig and tell us all about you had no significant speedincrease when surpassing the 4GB ;-)

I think 16Gig might a difference for a server in a large workgroup where everybody boots trough the network and use programs from the server, or use it simultaniously to let the server do folder actions as they did in the firm I used to work, because when we all did put a lot of images in that folder at the same time, we could take a coffebreak together, come back and see wich files wre processed allready & have another coffee with the people who were still waiting ;-)

but I think it will not make a big difference unless you have a lot of applications running at the same time and working with big files...?

Don't really think that 16GB will fit in my 1st gen iMac. :eek:
Didn't actually say that i had a G5 PM. ;)

I know ;)

just buy 16GB ram and tape it to your monitor :p hihi just kidding ;)

so why so curious about people having this much ram if you don't have a PM G5, its not like you are looking for good reviews to 'up' your PM G5...

there is nothing wrong with being curious, I'm like that too :p I tested a friends PM G5 on a few occasions before I bought my own ;)
 
Just Curious thats all.

Not so long ago 16GB, hell even 8GB RAM was supercomputer country.
Anyway, thought someone somewhere
would have maxed it to 16GB.
