the typical user uses less than 1gb anyway.
I don't quite understand people when they say "the more ram the better".... If in fact they know how ram works they would know if you are not using the extra ram... it's actually sitting there without use, but your mind tells u your computer is working faster![]()
remember though that OS X is a *nix and it can use RAM intelligently, unlike windows. as many apps as my wife leaves open on a typical day she would see better performance all the way up to a terrabyte or so.
i keep telling her that it just isn't natural to have 40 apps and 70 windows open on a laptop.
