I've got 2, and I'm upgrading to 8. :cool:

RAM doesn't matter nearly as much as processor speed. You're way better off with a 3GHz Quad Core machine with 2GB of RAM than you are a 2GHz Dual Core machine with 8GB of RAM. Unless, of course, you're doing something that requires more RAM (games) than you have, processor will make your computer far faster.

Of course, certain programs *cough* are RAM whores, so if you happen to be using those all at once, 8GB is a great thing to have.

But then again, the programs that are efficient and don't suck use more CPU than RAM, which is a good thing.

And if you have an awful graphics card without dedicated memory, you need more RAM for things.

Dudes. You sit on your Macs and you let them collect dust. What's wrong with you? :confused:
