Silly, most programs don't even use that much yet. Upgrading to 8gb in a couple days.

Ram is easy to upgrade.

lol, world of warcraft uses a lot of memory.

Its ddr3 -- 4gb ddr3 = much faster than 4 gb ddr2 or ddr

Getting 4gb more bc I told boss that it was necessary for optimal work performance.  


I come in on the weekend, and switch out all the parts.

Remove motherboard, cpu, gpu, and memory.  

Switch it to my home computer.

Replace with crappy P4 - 2.8 ghz single core

1 gb memory

crappy mother board

crappy pci graphics card


Nobody knows the difference.

Upgrade 1 gb memory to 2 gb for $30, so that it still seems pretty fast, to anyone else who uses it.


$1000 hardware for me free

Cool, but that's certainly not the ultimate gaming computer...

Also, getting 4 extra GB's of RAM is pointless, if you have a 32 bit operating system. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure 32 bit OS's only recognize 3.3 GB of RAM. So right now, .7 GB's of RAM in your computer is basically going to waste. Getting another 4 GB would be an absolute waste of money.

If you do have 64 bit OS, then you're good.
