A little offtopic, but you know what I always always always regret? Not putting enough RAM in my computer. Every time I upgrade my RAM, I'm always kicking myself saying "why didn't I do this last year"?

For years, ever since I bought my first computer, my rule of thumb has been: "double the RAM!" If the machine came with 1 MB RAM (no, I'm not kidding, we're talking a LONG time ago, when DOS ruled the Earth), I doubled it to 2 MB RAM even though at that point I wasn't quite sure what RAM was all about, I just knew it must be a Good Thing to have lots of it. LOL! If the machine came with 32 MB RAM, I doubled it to 64 MB (I remember the salesman saying with genuine confusion, "but lady, why would you need that much RAM? " I was more than happy that I had done that when software began to bloat and bloat, becoming more and more RAM-intensive.....) Next PC I bought came with 64 MB RAM, so, yup, before I left the store I was ready to install more chips to double it to 128 MB). That same machine actually was capable of being increased further so eventually I had to max it out at 256 MB RAM. The next machine I bought I maxed out from the get-go....

When I bought my iMac I immediately maxed it out to 2 GB and then when I ordered my PB BTO I did the same. If and when I buy a PM, I'll put in plenty of memory but in the beginning sure wouldn't be able to afford to max it out to 16 GB RAM! LOL!

I just find that it pays off in the long run to at least double the RAM from the day you bring a new computer home because programs and computers are becoming more RAM-hungry and why postpone the inevitable? You have the benefit of lots of RAM from the very beginning....
