Well, after a hiatus forced back with the guide to build your OSX86. Now, we all know the prices at which the RAM has dropped in recent years. The programs and operating systems requires much more RAM to run its processes, but hey, no problem. I think the price is the RAM (about 22 euros 2 Gb Kingston Value RAM) there is no problem in setting up at least 4 GB of RAM.
As for what type of RAM used in a Hackintosh I think we should ask ourselves what we do with him. If you are a regular user, not going to overclock, so I recommend Kingston DDR2 800 Mhz. As I said before 2 GB modules are fairly inexpensive.
Other frequencies such as 1066 Mhz DDR2 or DDR3? Here is how to achieve optimum performance, I will not deny, but .... are the kind of user who will build this team? When I try to do budget a personal computer. What do you want a kid of 12 years a computer with a Q9300, 8 GB of RAM and 1 Terabyte of hard drive when you are going to do is to work for the institute. For here the same.
I know it's very juicy put an amount of RAM in 8 to 16 GB (if your mainboard specifications allow), but I assure you more than enough going 2-4 Gb in Leopard.

Hello again, as a graphic designer and I use primarily Adobe CS4 and some, but little video with Final Cut Pro and After Effects. Keep in mind that seek a graph that CS4 can take advantage of your GPU and RAM.
"4 Gb will be enough to work smoothly? When do I need to go for the 1066 MHz or DDR3?
Thank you very much

Sorry, I forgot that I will start the interior design studios next academic year and taught me a 3D rendering program, but I guess later I'll use AutoCAD ArchiCAD 12 for its ease and results.
Thanks

Man, what I'd recommend it (apart from looking for a good plate, at least 4 gigabytes of RAM) is a good plot and all that is most compatible with Leopard (if you're going to use such software on Leopard) . Let's see if I have time this morning and I get to the Graphics section.

Hello,
I doubt arises. I have a Hacintosh with 4GB of shared memory divided into two yellow slots with 2Gb DDR2 800 Kingston. The point is that I want to expand the memory ... I tried to put a 1Gb 800 in one of the slots are black, but presently he hangs up the computer. I wonder if you can intuit that this extension ... the need to put DDR2 memory modules in pairs and are of the same characteristics. Should I put 1GB in each of the two black slots left to make everything work properly or I am forced to put 2Gb in each of the slots?
Thank you very much for your attention.
