    8GB.... Really? Anyone actually utilises that amount of memory?

    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
