Interesting to know for sure! I guess I can't speak to what they're doing for optimizations first hand, but at the same time...my 128GB cost me like $300 on sale so, I dunno, a wash? Haha.

I've tried to become a Mac convert a few times, mostly peer pressure, but I just haven't been able to do it successfully yet.

Yeah, if I’m building a PC, I’ll throw in as much RAM as I can get.

That said, with 16gigs I’m usually not thinking about RAM at all. I’d probably only want to go higher than that if I was living in Adobe Lightroom 24/7.
