hi all,
Am sure this has been discussed abt a billion times but would love if all you experts could humor me again as i just want to make sure the info i am going off of is current and applies to my setup.... im pretty useless when it comes to this stuff.
I bought a 27 inch imac - believe the 2013 ediiton. I got in aug 2014 just before they released the Retina. It is NOT a retina. - not that i'm sure it matters for my question.
So all that aside. I currently have just the stock setup. i believe 8 GB RAM
Seems to me that since she is capable of 32, why not right?
so two questions:
1. Is there a reason why i wouldn't/shouldnt want to go crazy on RAM and go to 32 that it can take or even just double to 16?
2. How would i go about doing the same - assuming there is 1 8 gb ram in there now - i havent looked (still very prelim in my head) Do i just go and buy 3 more 8 gb cards? do i buy one 8 and one 16? do i scrap the original 8 and get 2 16's?
Maybe it doesnt matter - thanks in advance all.
Jack
