Wondering if a memory upgrade makes sense

[roguefury]

iMac 27", 2019 Model with 16GB and a 3.1Ghz 6-Core Intel Core i5

This machine is relatively new in it's lifecycle, but the end of the road for Intel for me. I wish I'd added a bigger SSD (500gb) when configuring, but external SSDs are doing well.

Every so often I tax this system, and I'm now wondering if I should up the Ram on this machine? Anybody know where I can get a good deal for 2667 MHz DDR4 memory?

thx

With the world chip shortage, you have picked a bad time to upgrade memory. RAM prices have increased nearly 50% since 6 months ago.

Timetec is good value:
