Should I get 8GB ddr ram in my m17x? Is there really a noticable advantage over 4gb ddr ram??? I want to be able to play any and all games. And I know a m17 with only 4gb ram and crossfire can play crisis with no prob...

Nope - stay with 4gigo for the moment. Wait for price to drop some more.

No games will take advantage of that much memory so you will see zero gain.

I agree...wait for the prices to drop.

8GB of RAM is waaaaaay too expensive now..especially in DDR3... and you will not see that much money/value in performance increase.

Maybe pay the extra $50 for the faster RAM 4GB option.

That will be a good upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit.

Unless you are working with very heavy (and I mean professional) applications, or are planning on running 7 or more memory hungry applications in the background at the same time plus a game, you will see no benefit in having 8GB installed on your system for gaming.

If you still want to see if 8GB is for you, stick to 4GB at first and see how it works for you.
