Hi all - computer advice needed.


As the title suggests, I'm using my 2020 27" iMac with its lovely 5K display for my Pixinsight/PS astro-processing.



I've been drooling over these new M2 Macs, but I wondered if a RAM upgrade would be a cheaper, more feasible option for me right now in order to get the most out of PI on my current setup without spending thousands of dollars on a Mac Mini or Studio?


Current RAM is a measly 8Gb - this iMac can be upgraded to 128Gb for around $500


Suppose my question is what kind of difference an upgrade like that (8>>128Gb) would make to PI performance on this computer?



Any insights appreciated
Doug
