It almost makes so much sense to have the option of up to 32GB RAM that it wouldn't make sense to only offer up to 16GB The Dell XPS 15 is the direct competition and it offers 32GB, and user expandable at that! 16GB would be ok with me but would it ever be great to have 32GB or at least the...

I have 259 wallpaper images that change every 5 minutes on the screen of my 2008 (or 09?) Macbook Pro 17 and 24" external monitor. My Mac has only 6 GB's of RAM. Do those changing wallpaper images negatively effect CPU and/or RAM? The reason I'm asking is because according to Memory Monitor I...

I am curious to know if Mac OS X records stats on the performance of ECC RAM, i.e., the rate of detection and correction of errors. And, if so, is there are way to access it?

Anyone clued up on what kind of performance increase could be expected by installing extra memory into an iMac Mid 2011 model? Is there any data on this, some benchmarking? The base installed memory currently is 4 GB, but it can be configured up to 16 GB. For iMac Mid 2011 models, 2 GB or 4 GB...
