    Should I spend €60 to upgrade from

    4096MB (2x2GB) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel

    to

    6144MB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [1x4096 + 1x2048]

    or is 4GB enough?

    Example of concurrent application usage for me would be Visual Studio, Photoshop and a web browser for example.

    thanks.

    4GB is enough for most usage. Unless your Photoshop work is intensive, I doubt you'd need more. You can upgrade it yourself for cheaper anyway.

    first make sure you get the 1920x1080 B+RGLED display upgrade!
