Should I Upgrade RAM? Alternatives?

[SandEagle]

hello -

I currently have 4 GB RAM, running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I'm thinking of adding an additional 4 GB, for a total of 8 GB RAM. Does anyone see any reasons not to do this? I just want to max out and never worry about memory again. Not too much load going on at the moment.

Also, what are the alternatives to DELL's 2 GB sticks? They charge $229 per stick, which is ridiculously high. thanks

If you don't know if you need it... you don't!

Save your money, unless you are after the "bragging" rights.

He's right, memory prices will only drop (unless you wait so long it's antique, a la SDR or RDRAM).
