RAM is cheap - upgrade!

RAM prices are really good right now, and enough RAM is the difference between a great UI and a sluggish, unresponsive nightmare. Check your task manager, performance monitor or other resource monitoring utility - if all your physical RAM is being used and the system is using a lot of "pagefile" or "virtual memory" and lagging painfully, it's time for an upgrade! I bought this RAM as part of a desktop workstation I built for a friend. I put together an extremely powerful machine for $800 and he is very pleased. I paired this RAM with the following main components: Intel Core i5-2500K Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA III 7200rpm Cache 64MB Internal Desktop Hard Drive Bulk/ OEM – WD1002FAEX ASRock Z68 EXTREME3 GEN3 LGA1155/ Intel Z68/ DDR3/ Quad CrossFireX & Quad SLI/ SATA3&USB3.0/A&GbE/ATX Motherboard Antec Three Hundred ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case ASUS VH236H 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • It's not as good as it says it is
