You have 0 idea of my needs.
If you can currently do your work on a 11 year old iMac a new iMac with
a M3pro and 48 GB RAM would be total overkill. Full stop.
Proving my point that you have 0 idea of my needs. Video editing is a
memory hungry task - pro studios go way above 24 GB.
I currently have 24 GB and ironically I could bump it up to 32 GB on
this computer... future always needs more.
One of my software projects is also memory hungry (large simulation) and
more RAM is good RAM.
And as mentioned in the other thread, RAM disks are often very useful
for faster rendering and format conversions and other file manipulation
tasks.
Further of course, it is part of future proofing the computer for my
habit of keeping computers for a long time.
My target in a new iMac was actually 32 GB, but Apple's choices in
memory seem to point at 24, then 48 GB memory sizes - so I would have
gone 1 level up. Not available with M3, however.
I may even build an external RAMdisk off the Thunderbolt ports.
So, don't go around telling other people what they don't need. You're
not qualified.
