I have 8gb RAM... just for fucking around with at home. Should I spend a few bucks and upgrade it to 16gb RAM?

(This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Extra RAM never hurts, especially if it's cheap. I have an iMac from around the same era (maybe even earlier) and while I don't remember how much RAM it has, I put a solid-state drive in it last year and it made a huge difference.

Agree with DCurry. The SSD would be the best upgrade but you can't have too much RAM. But also the thing is 10 years old and can't go past High Sierra.

I asked the bf for extra ram for Christmas. Where I really need it is at work. Both are running 8g.

He might misunderstand what you are asking for. Just sayin'.
