Hello,
I recently purchased an iMac Retina 5k to replace a mid-2011 27" model that was having speed problems. I would like to use the old Mac as an external display using Thunderbolt. I have a few questions about this.
First, do I need RAM in the computer that will be used as an external display? Ideally, I would be able to move the 2 x 4GB modules that I have into the new computer. Second, will the old iMac being used as an external display be doing any computing itself, or will it just display what the new Mac tells it to?
Thanks for your help,
Connor
