Do I need more than 8GB if I use my computer for web, on line banking, playing board games, using word processor like word.

I have this machine with 8GB ram and use it like you do and the memory is sufficient.

Generally 8GB memory is more than sufficient for web browsing, online banking, word processing and simple board games. I do not yet have this newest model, but I own an older MBP with only 8GB memory and I use for photo editing (Lightroom and Photoshop CS 5), as well as word processing, spreadsheets and keynote with very satisfactory speeds.

8GB is enough for all but the most demanding games and rendering applications. The Iris pro can use the standard RAM as video memory, in case anyone is wondering. It (memory) won't be as fast as GDDR4 or 5 (on a dedicated graphics card), but for 99% of people this will be adequate to the point of overkill.

no you don't need more than 8GB, however, if you plan on keeping your computer for 5 years or more, you should consider the 16GB, because every time they add features to a new OS they memory usage becomes more demanding. After 5 years or so 8GB may become insufficient. That's if you like upgrading to the newest OS (operating system) every year, like me. The 16GB option keeps your computer more future friendly. You could always upgrade it later on, but I decided to get the 16GB option to avoid the hassle of having to install additional RAM later on.

I did not check this out, as the 8 GB is very fast for my home and business use. I don't play games or run CAD etc. I really like this computer.

Hey Kevin, as an owner of this laptop, you should know that 24 GB of ram is absolutely unnecessary. This monster of a machine processes things so fast that it doesn't need very much temporary memory space (aka ram). 8 is plenty with 12 or 16 being the max. Like I said, you don't need to worry about RAM. Also it is the best laptop I have ever owned.

I would not recommend this computer for those uses. I did upgrade it to 8GB.

The type and amount of memory is dictated by the capabilities of the motherboard. Each computer has a maximum amount of memory it can handle. Being that there is no mention of the type/model of your system, I can't say for sure if you can use it. I would encourage you to look up the specifications of your computer and see what the max memory is. More memory can never hurt and can actually give you a very good performance boost in terms of speed of processing especially if it's using a significant amount of virtual (harddrive) memory now. Good luck!!!

My computer has 4GB. I think that the pic is about the software. I beieve that if it says 4GB that's what it is.

Depends on which version of Windows you are running. To utilize 32GBs, I'm using Windows 7 Ultra 64bit. Using Windows 7 Home Premium 32bits, you get something like 3300GBs. I don't know about Professional. I hope this answer helps.

max is 8 but if u want to update it is better to buy the laptop with 8 gb, because to update you have to open the down cover complete and its not so easy, besides if you open it you'll lose the warranty. the laptop runs good with 4 gb, I tested it using programs like photoshop and dreamweaver, but if u want 8gb my advice is to buy the pc with that amount of ram.

It should you need to look up your computer specs and see if it can hold 8 Gigs of Ram.

I would think if your PC works with your 2gb it should work fine with an 8gb.

It depends on your memory modules. 32GB seem to be the max and not for every speed. Here is a link: http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-z77x-up4-th.pdf

The two options available are 4GB and 8GB. I believe you can't upgrade to have more than 8GB max.

I used a 8GB card. The size depends on your needs, and can be higher or lower.

You might not even need one, I'd look at you storage space available, I added a 4GB just for the heck of it.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.
