What is the benefit of going to 8 gigs if you have 4 gigs? What apps or games take advantage of 8 gigs of memory?

Nothing takes advantage of 8 gigs unless you have a 64 bit platform.

These are $8 shipped after rebate at Fry's:

This is the newer Ballistix modules that run at more reasonable voltages. Hopefully they'll burn out less than the old ones did. And like #2 said, unless you're running a 64-bit OS your system probably won't even recognize more than 4GB of RAM. As for programs that need it, couldn't tell you but it's probably few and far between at this point. Look at it this way, if you have a program that needs 8GB of RAM you probably know it, if you don't know if you need it, you probably don't.

I got the 2x2Gb (4Gb total) today at Fry's B&M for $30 after $50 MIR.

Server applications can utilize it

Before buying memories, look closely at owner's manual to see the maximum memory capacity your the mother board supports. And if you are planning to ADD new memories to existing ones, check with their compatibility.

what apps? Oracle database, multiple VMware sessions, software development tools. As stated, need 64bit os and mb support too.

seems like my sticks won't OC very well. coud be the MB, but who knows

Correction. 32 bit versions of windows can only use ~3.2 Gb of ram not 4gb.

#3, Frys always has a better deal and no tax for me.

wow, $16 for 2gb. that's great!!

This is a pretty sweet deal for those who want to exceed the memory cap on Windows XP.

Wow!! Sweet deal. I paid a fortune for these about 10 months ago. They work flawlessly and well. I am not sure what diff does SLI make but I am running them with SLI enabled (no overclocking) and they have perormed on my Nvidia 680i SLI mo-bo.

16$ is awesome for some cheap ram, but gig sticks? egh.
