Thanks...but I'm in Australia, and so am looking for a local supplier. I should have mentioned that
"I have a c. 2009 Mac Pro with 12 GB, and that is more than plenty for my K-3. I'll be using it for years to come. I have no problems stitching panoramas with 10-20 RAW images (and it could do more). 16 GB would be oodles, even for a K-1 (50% more data than the K-3). 32 GB would be an awful lot, and probably future-proof you beyond the life of the computer. If the Mac has socketed memory, you can upgrade later and defer that cost until you really need that much (and the price of memory will almost certainly come down). If the Mac you want does not have socketed memory, you have to buy it now, or replace the entire computer later. Depending on the price point (and your budget), that may or may not be a viable alternative. Even Macs are becoming disposable commodities, sadly.

A good thought...thanks - this upgrade is actually going to cost more than I had hoped, so as long as I can upgrade later if needed, I will start with 16GB and see how it goes.
