I don't know about 'most people,' but I paid Lenovo for 4 gig of memory,

chance to see if I really needed the memory before I bought it, and
saved money in the process.

I recently bought a new iMac with the minimum memory (8 GB).

I bought another 16 GB from Crucial at a lower price than Apple charged
for 8 more.

Stuffing it into the iMac took about 3 minutes from shutdown to startup.

24 GB means never having to write to swap (esp. with the new OS 10.9
"Mavericks" as it appears Apple have done major improvements to memory
management).



My laptop won't support more than 16. There is only one
