Like dicecca112 posted looks like you need to bypass 4 gigs and go directly to 8 :-k

That would be the true way of the geek.

Hey, I can get a 5-4-4-18 PC2-6400 8GB OCZ kit for under £150. That's actually a pretty reasonable price considering that 2GB was around that a year and a half ago.

At this moment in time, what percentage of applications or games require more than 4GB ram? Maybe 2-3%?

Non that I'm going to be using often, don't worry, I'm not going to be wasting cash on that much memory any time soon, just musing at the prospect :P

Its unbelievable how inexpensive DDR2-800 is compared to less than a year ago. I paid $175 for 2GB Ram that now sells for roughly $30-$40 after MIR...sick!

So at that price, why not have at it and load up, right? :mrgreen:
