i'm not really sure what difference that would make, or why i'd really need memory better than what i have now. everything runs so quick and i can alt-tab out of even the newest games instantly, without anything slowing down

for a test i even loaded up crysis and oblivion and had them running in the background while i was surfing the net. i loaded crysis up and played for a minute, then alt-tabbed out and went on to oblivion and played for a minute. each played smoothly and i quit and returned to windows instantly without anything being laggy

so while i wouldnt refuse a free pair of crucial sticks, im not really sure what advantage they, or even DDR3, would be. just seems like a normal consumer having truly high-end stuff serves no purpose than having something to brag about to be honest
