anybody with 4 gigs of ram in their macbook?

contemplating picking up some more ram, but i have heard that unless your running massive vsts and what not in a daw...almost no real performance increase.

is this true?

im just djing using torq and everyday computer usage...so i could see how 4 gigs might help...but dont want to be blowing cash if its not going to make a huge difference.

I got 4 Gigs on my MacBook Pro and I love it!!! I got them for $30 at Frys! Can't go wrong with that.

I'm running with 1gb right now with no problems in Logic or Traktor Scratch. I will probably upgrade to 4 soon since it is so cheap.

Yes. There's a noticeable performance boost. Do it; it only cost me $90.

I don't know how you would do it on mac but see if you can monitor memory usage.
Its the best way to see if more RAM will help.

+1

Same for me.

Check slickdeals.net for awesome ram deals. You should really pay no more than 30-40 max after rebate for 2x2gb sticks.

I run Torq and the extra RAM definitely helps when you're running multiple VSTs.

Open the command line and run either

`top`

or

`cat /proc/meminfo`

I'm running Logic, itunes, firefox, ical, and Traktor Scratch with two decks going with keylock on plus effects and I still have 8.60mb free ram out of 1024mb, but I'm still going to upgrade since it is so cheap.
