Re:AppleMac Memory Upgrade - 2008/07/03 18:39 Dear Jonathan0104,

Personally, my philosophy is that you can't have enough RAM. If you can afford it then get it, you can always sell the unused RAM on eBay.

The way I think about the price of memory is this: You will have your MacBook for at least 3 years, if not longer. So, £64 over 3 years is £21 and pence, not bad little investment I think?

If you are using Adobe PhotoShop CS2 or CS3, you may want to reduce the amount of memory the application uses. This is in the Application Preferences > Performance. There you can reduce the amount of RAM PhotoShop uses therefore freeing it up for other applications.

Hope this helps? Michael Oglesby - Apple Mac Expert
