What are you needing 8GB of Ram for? How often will your system actually need to use that much?

Well I do use the 64bit Vista and have seen when using 4Gb the usage go over 60%
I'm also using a 4Gb sandisk for readyboost and have yet seen where it actually does anything.

Hmm....Apparently Readyboost only really works when you have a small amount of RAM, say 512MB. If you already have 4GB then it's not going to work...

I got my refund from Corsair and this is what I'm ordering first thing Monday

Seagate Barracuda 1TB/32MB Cache
G.SKILL 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR2 1000
ASUS Radeon HD 3870 X2

You should not need to upgrade again for quite some time with that spec.!!!!!!!!!!

LOL... I'm ALWAYS looking ahead and planning on the next one.

Ordered this morning
