Magic 8-ball says "Answer hazy: ask again later" The standard answer "should I add more RAM?" is: "If your system bottleneck is memory, adding more RAM will help." If you boost it to 4 gigs, you'll get the use of 3 gigs of RAM. You'll lose a smidge of performance by not getting RAM interleaving (which IIRC Intel iMacs will take advantage of) but you'll gain a gig of RAM. However, if you're currently not constrained by RAM, you won't see any performance improvement; in fact you'll only see the smidge of performance degradation. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
