Default Re: Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro & M1 Max!

I agree Eric. Throwing more RAM at something doesn’t magically fix problems or make the app perform better. If it’s not utilising the RAM to begin with, adding more won’t make it work better.

If you need it for large memory addressing VIs, sure. But as you rightly pointed out, 16GB RAM is totally workable. That’s all I have on my production machine and I have NEVER hit a ceiling in terms of RAM usage. In fact, the only time I’ve had an issue is with my web browser. I have a bad habit of having a LOT of tabs open so the caching of pages eats up RAM. That coupled with the fact modern browsers are just insane memory hogs.
