Will 16GB of RAM really increase my speed?
Hello, all you MacBook Pro fanatics!
I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM installed - I bought the Corsair memory from Amazon for under $50 and installed it myself.
Amazon now has a 16GB kit fro Corsair for only $100 - the least expensive price I've found. The only RAM intensive app I really run is Photoshop CS6, but I do keep a lot of apps open at one time (Acrobat Pro X, Outlook, InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6, Word, Parallels running XP, iTunes at the moment) and I was wondering if the extra RAM would actually help me out.
I'm looking for some advice from people who have already upgraded to 16 GB... can you actually tell a difference?
Any advice would be most welcome.
