    Vista's Superfetch should enjoy it, even if you don't really need that much for your applications.

    And if you think 8GB is overkill...

    Only the P45/43 chipsets support 16GB though IIRC...

    ATI 790GX also supports 16GB of RAM.
    TBH I was expecting 2x4GB on low latency
    I'm running 4x2GB GSkills for half a year already and they costed me only 110 quid

    I use to be on a 16GB system doing alot of design work on Photoshop, and it was impossible to do it on a 4GB system as it would be too slow to even move images!

    Just ordered 8GB for my computer to support my needs in Photoshop a few days ago and should come tomorrow

    The memory controller is integrated into the chip, so it doesn't seem to be a simple case of relying on the northbridge any more
    I really hope it does too - I'm not convinced by the move to DDR3 yet given its price:ram sizeerformance just yet

    Remember when AMD moved to AM2 from 939 almost exclusively overnight?
    That wasn't fun
