It will work out of the box, but to max out ram to 64 gigs, self installed ( which is easy) your looking at about $200. Remember macs ultilize Ram much differently then a PC. It’s like a hybrid car vs a gas car, the Mac optimizes the ram, little goes a long way. I’m running 8 gigs, and am using some power heavy software such as photoshop and premiere.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use this computer to edit 4K footage everyday. You will definitely want to upgrade to at least 32Gb of ram. I have priced some out and it seems like you can get it for around $350- $400. I would recommend taking the existing ram out and only put pairs from the same manufacturing run in. Just save the original apple installed ram Incase you need to take it in to be serviced. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For 4k I would use no less then 32gb of ram. This imac comes with 8gb installed. You're look at around on average $350.00 for 32 GB of RAM.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.IDK but if you call Applecare they can answere all your questions. See I’m new too! Lol
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.64 minus 8=? 32 minus 8= ? There’s your answer. It’s easy to add ram as there are 4 ports on the back side. Just have to remove the plate below attachment.
