Will more RAM mean anything?
My Powermac 933Mhz has 1024mb of RAM, two 256mb and one 512mb modules.
Would it be woth it to increase it another 256mb or max out at 1.5gig's?
I'd have to waste the two 256mb modules I have and get another two 512mb modules to get to 1.5 gigs.
I know that adding RAM is always a good idea, but considering that I have 1024mb and I'd have to waste the two 256 modules, would the improvement still be worth the cost?

One gigaByte of RAM is enough for most applications unless that you are a power user dealing with monster file like 300 MB photoshop files.
For current use, 1 GB is more than confortable and did not justify the cost of this update and the loss of the 256 MB modules.
I think that we can say for OS X :
-128 MB minimum in order to work, but do not expect a great experience with that amount of RAM
- 256 MB recommanded
- 512 MB to be confortable
- 1024 MB to rock

i suppose if u do actual work on ur comp, more ram could be used, but a gig is definitely more than enough. (i think gates has been quoted saying that 128k is more than enough for anybody; so i'll eat my words when we get to a petabyte of RAM)

ummm... what's an iPod have to do with anything? other than the fact that they're just plain kewl
