Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but before I pull the trigger to purchase 2x16GB, I thought I'd get some professional opinions.
I always have running: Safari (average around 15-20 tabs), Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Stocks, Messages, Photos, OneDrive, Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, Teams, Skype, Microsoft Remote Desktop, HW Monitor, Box, SwitchResX.
I occasionally add: VLC, FireFox (5 tabs), Chrome (5 tabs), VNC Client
I don't think the Memory Pressure monitor has ever gone yellow or red, that said, I don't know if macOS would use more if it knew it had more. Meaning, if I upgrade from 16gb to 32gb, would the Memory Used go past 16gb because the system knows it has 32gb available?
Thanks!
