Can I use a Thurderbolt display monitor with the mac

Wondering if I can use a Thunderbolt display with the new Mac Studio.


Also, I mainly use Premiere Pro and After Effects..mostly as a hobby.

What would anyone suggest for ram for the Mac Studio Max? 32 or 64 gigs of ram.

One last question...would upgrading to the 32 core GPU give me much noticeable difference than

the 24 Core GPU?


Thanks.

You can use that great display, BUT:

At 2560 by 1440, it's essentially a 2K display. you may find after a while you yearn for a higher-resolution display. They will be there when you need one, and be cheaper because you waited.

When thinking about memory sizes, the M1 software is a little fatter than the intel version, but you also need to allow for using main RAM as display RAM. If you were buying a hot new graphics card today, it would have 4GB to 8GB of its own display RAM. The "unified memory" design is faster, but you are "borrowing" a similar amount for display RAM from system RAM.


Executive summary: add at least 4GB additional to what is working for you today.
