[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 881783, member: 24098"] I agree with bobtomay, but I do think that there will be some impact on the fan noise. The fans will spin up, as we know, when the system is being worked hard. I would venture to say that the majority of the work your system is doing is probably just managing all of that virtual memory that you're using. With an adequate amount of memory, that work load should decrease significantly. Now, I can't make any guarantees, but I suspect removing this bottle neck will yield a marked improvement. In my experience, playing YouTube videos isn't particularly taxing. [/QUOTE]
