I just pimped my 20″ iMac with an additional RAM (2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 for less than £21!). Now It’s 3 GIG’s and it has been one of the best computer related investments in my carrier next to wacom tablet. It has cut the time of opening and saving high res, multilayered files in photoshop by 2/3. The same with scanning at high resolution. I do not expect you would see an amazing improvement with and video and 3D editing software but when it comes to Photoshop it’s a bliss. One of the best thing is that I can now paint and draw at high res, using large textured brushes and do not have time for a quick nap in-between the strokes while the computer is trying to cope. Well, this sounded a little extreme, but I there is really a tangible difference between what my Macintosh had been capable of before I fed it the new RAM and what it can do now. Definitely recommended.
