If I stuff my computer (iMac) with as much RAM as possible will it make everything go faster? I currently have 4gb and it can hold a max of 16gb. Would 16gb be overkill or is it just a more is better type of thing?

Seems like that would just make your bbsing experience that much greater. Go for it, I say.

More is better. Once you get to a certain point tho it won't make much of a difference unless you are doing a ton of stuff, or computing large numbers.

Ram is a cheap upgrade, go for it.
You will probably not notice any performance diff except when compiling videos and other high power tasks like that.

put in 16

OK, I'll put in 16. I already bought 16 on ebay. I hope I can figure out how to put it in.
-
1 RAM at a time.

i hope he got the mac version of ram not the windows version :ohno:

I'm no expert on Macs, but I don't think they need ram. They just work. Try taking out that ram that shouldn't be there.

hemmy, I read that adding 16gb of memory could slow down your computer on start-up? Why would that be?
(Also nice zing! ;) )

Just when starting up it tests all the memory. More memory = longer test. Just never shut down your computer like a normal person
