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

I thought that after I typed it. Ha!
Watch we'll both be wrong and I'll find 64 of these in my family room Christmas morning...
:laugh:
Ewe wish.
Sorry. That was baaaaaaaad.
I'll stop horning in on your thread now.
I can't stop - I've got a gazelle-ion of these.
Deer lord!
Your pun skills are un-herd of.
Shear humor.
Wool you please keep going?
Sheeple! :offtopic:
$37 for 8gb ram (2x4) on Amazon, so, yeah; pretty much a no brainer. 16 gb max (4x4) is the max for that imac. It wasn't worth butting heads over.
OMG :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
go away Corn! I'm enjoying this!
No kid-ding!
Sorry Corn, I didn't mean to get your goat.
Go ahead and rattle your dags mate!
So I upgraded the RAM, and updated the OS from Sierra to High Sierra and now CS 5.5 (or whatever version I have) doesn't run. It wanted a Java installation, so I did that, and now it "works," but when you close the app, it acts like the app crashed instead and gives you an error message about not closing properly. BAA! Any of you wooly bullies know how to fix that? Or do I need to hoof it over to the Adobe forums for a fix?
Only thing I can think of is to delete the prefs for whichever app is crashing and see if that solves it. Not sure if it works in something that old but the apps will delete their own prefs if you hold down Shift+Control+Option+Command when you open it.
Also might want to run the Onyx utilities for that version of OS and have it fix permissions.
