[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1232397, member: 184879"] there is almost no point in performing this upgrade. 8GB can be worthwhile if you are using virtualisation for Windows, but two fully fledged 64 bit OSes are going to be bottlenecked by the CPU a long shot before being able to take advantage of 16GB RAM. it wont be any quicker than 8GB, and you wont notice any speed increase over an 8GB upgrade. for speed, get an SSD. you will see noticeable performance increases at a fraction of the price.
