Would my iMacs RAM effect tracking speed/lag when using the magic trackpad?

I am currently running a stock 21.5 " i5 iMac 4GB RAM and notice that I only max out about 2.50 Gb or so memory when multitasking and using the system normally.

I recently purchased a magic trackpad which I have had replaced by Apple as my old one was faulty and have found that in one spot of the trackpad I get slight cursor delay.

This was the exact same problem (there were other problems also with my old one) that happened with my previous trackpad so I'm starting to think this now must be a software fault.

Unless there are any issues with mountain lion (I'm running the latest version) that I'm not aware of the only other explanation I can think of is the RAM.

Would RAM have an effect on cursor delay on a trackpad? I find it hard to believe I've had two trackpads with the same issue and it has been in the exact same place (In the bottom right hand corner of the pad)

Would upgrading my RAM to 8GB have any effect?

Any thoughts on the issue?

(I was also thinking it may be related to the notification centre gesture in some way as you have to swipe with two fingers from the right to active this)

can track pad be configured to act like a number pad?

i'm a finance guy and really, really appreciate having a number pad on my keyboard. apple has been moving away from number pads and there are no 3rd party ones available (at least none up to apple standards). plus i'd find it very useful to have a trackpad / number pad to use with my macbook when i'm on the road. it must be possible to programme something like this and then supply a simple foil with the relevant keys marked on it?

Will two track pads working on two different computers in the same room interfere with each other?

My husband and I would both like to upgrade to the new Lion operating system, but our desktop computer keyboards do not have track pads built into them. If we were to buy two of these new Magic trackpads, would they interfere with each other when we were both using our computers at the same time? (Computers are side by side....)

Is there any way to use this as a virtual numeric pad?

As an owner of the wireless keyboard, something I'm lacking is a non-obtrusive numeric pad. Is it (or will it be) possible to use the Magic Trackpad as a numeric pad as well?
