[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1619327, member: 284358"] I would say if you want the most from your system for the next 5 years, upgrade to 16gb. But if your a office user, web surfer or just listen to music. Then 8GB is the best price/performance ratio on the market. 4GB is barely enough IMHO. Going up to 8GB essentially doubles your over all system speed. However going to 16GB is about 12% boost in system speed. But if you run heavy video like 4k or graphics editing, you will notice a much larger boost in speed going to 16GB.. If I bought a new one tomorrow, it would have 16GB. Cheers, Joe [/QUOTE]
