Uh Vista runs like crap on 2 Gigs of ram if you plan on doing anything on the machine. 4 Gigs is the norm now and has been for a while. And why's it so stupid since it's so cheap? That's just goofy talk.
I notice a MAJOR difference with 8GB from 4GB. My machine is impossable to bog and slow down. 2 instances of EQ2, installed WoW, while burning a CD, folding, torrent, trillian, 20+ IE windows open and nothing. That's exactly what I did lastnight with no slow downs.
MMO players DEFINATLY benefit with 4Gigs of ram as these games are usually on for 6 to 20 hours straight. The only exception possably is WoW since it's graphics engine is dated.
