Should I upgrade my Hackintosh from 8GB to 16GB of RAM?

Yes, going from 8GB to 16GB will make your Hackintosh noticeably more stable and snappier. macOS is a memory hog, and with 8GB you’re constantly hitting swap, causing stutters, beach balls, and occasional kernel panics. 16GB gives macOS room to breathe, cache apps, and keep a dozen browser tabs open without crashing into swap. Just make sure you add matching sticks or a matched kit — mismatched RAM can cause OpenCore boot issues or instability.
