Loose-end question on initial RAM installation

[BlueHornet]

I just remembered a question I've been meaning to post here...

I've seen several YouTube videos on Hackintosh builds, where the author has stated that it's better to only install 4gb RAM at first build. Then you go back and install the rest of the RAM, *after* the OS has been installed and the system has been tweaked with MultiBeast.

Is this the recommended procedure?

I've been reviewing the tutorials on the UniBeast/Lion/MultiBeast procedure, and don't recall seeing anything noted about recommended RAM limitations. So maybe this is no longer an issue? Or, maybe, it is still an issue and just not noted in the software installation threads.

Thanks.

I've installed Lion with 8 GB of ram inserted. No issues here.

Cool. I'll probably just pop all 16gb in the old mobo, and let it rip...unless I hear otherwise here. Thanks for the post!

That used to be the case in older installations which could be 32 bit or 64 bit, but nowadays, it isn't so much an issue.
