Hey all. So this is probably a post that should be more in a computer section of this forum, but it DOES tie into the D800... Plus I like you guys and value your input .
So... The question is: Would 16gb of RAM be at all beneficial in photography? Specifically with a large MP camera like the D800? Is aperture or photoshop RAM hungry? Or would it only be minimal improvement in this day and age?
16 is overkill for most of what I do, but I hear that graphical applications use more ram than most. I, myself, notice aperture being the slowest program I run on my MacBook pro. I can only imagine that a D800 would cripple a system even more.
With these new retina macs with stupid resolution (which I'm purchasing) you can't upgrade later... I have to make a decision on 8 or 16 out the gate. And again, it WILL eventually be used with a D800.
Nikon computer nerds, help me out here!
