It's been mentioned in many Overclocking forums, I just discovered this Gem today. Too bad they don't come in 8GB modules but dammit they're awesome. Read the reviews. Most of the sticks are out of stock. It's a bitch to find them but for the price you buy you're getting something really amazing.

    Every time i see sticks with gigabytes of capacity i cringe a little. Simple put it's a complete waste.

    After about 3 gigs you're really really pushing the limits of performance gain.

    7.35GB of usage, I got 16GB. Even that's pretty low for me. It honestly depends on your work load.

    Therefore I'll accept that as a carrer advancement from being a professional porn critic.

    I have always found that ram plays a huge roll in performance,I don't over clock but I have found that using the proper settings for your particular brand really speeds things up.

    Well, it usually depends on your workload. If your OS requires 1GB of RAM and you install 512MB you will get reduced performance. In reality the more is better. The RAMs are cheap now, the next revision would be DDR4 and that will take few years or 1.2 years to be exact. If you're using a 32bit OS and it's Windows Xp then you should have at least 2GB of ram, with Windows 7 more than 2GB would be great and if you're using 64Bit aim for 6GB not 4GB! And if you use Adobe Suite then increase it more.

    For Linux 2Gb is ideal. But if you want to play with VM's get the 64bit version and add more RAM.

    For Gaming anything above 6GB is overkill.

    I've been using 4GB of RAM in my desktop since the day I built it and it's served me just fine for what I do - gaming, internet and music listening/creating (cubase, etc). I'd like to upgrade to 6 or 8GB just for the hell of it really, that's literally the only reason I'd ever upgrade :D Like you said, RAM is cheap so if you're looking for an excuse to spend some money, might as well add some more in!
