Quick question if anyone could be kind enough to answer. I've ordered my first imac at the weekend, a 27" i5 8gb 780m 1tb FD etc.

I am intending on upgrading the ram at some point to 24gb with some Crucial sticks when ram comes back down to a reasonable price.

Real world differences in using 8gb compared to 24gb ram in these machines, is there much difference? I'll not be using it for any heavy video editing or such, maybe a slight bit of encoding (xvid to dvd etc) and gaming will probably be the most intensive stuff i'll be doing for now, will it make much difference for now?
