I'm saving up for a new 27" iMac to assist in video abd photo editing.
If I buy the stock 8GB from Apple, then drop $200 on an additional 16GB from OWC, I could have 24GB of RAM(3x8GB chips).
Or just spend $400 from OWC to get 32GB straight from them.
I plan to use Adobe Premiere/After Effects, Final Cut Express 4, Photoshop, Bridge, the usual web surfing, movie watching.
Most likely two or three programs will run simultaneously, if that paints a better picture for you.
I don't know how RAM hungry the newer OS are, because I'm still using Snow Leopard on my MacBook.
Will I see noticeable improvements with the extra 8GB of RAM?
Thanks for the advice and insight
