I have a new Macbook Pro with 4GB of memory. As I finished transferring my pictures from my old computer, I noticed that I have over 8GB of pictures on there now. How is that possible? Is the computer’s memory not related to files like pictures and things?

Just curious. :-)

    In this case, the computer memory is referring to the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) You have no your computer. You can google RAM to find out more.

    Pictures and files are stored on your hard drive. Hard drive has storage space not memory.

    Your 4 GB “memory” refers to the amount of RAM (random access memory) that you have on your machine.

    files like your pictures are placed in your hard disk which nowadays usually has 80+ GB size. so it sure could accommodate 8 GB pictures.. the Memory (also called RAM) is a temporary storage for data to enhance computer performance. By storing frequently used or active files in it, the computer can access the data faster than retrieving it from the hard drive.
