2 GB more?

My laptop will take 2 more GB's of ram. But I'm wondering if a little extra headroom will make enough difference for the expense. Any comments regarding the additional 2 GB? I am running 64 bit so I'm thinking perhaps I should, but I've not priced the ram, yet...

CPU vs RAM for X1 - I need advice

I would appreciate some advice regarding my DAW. I have searched these forums and have found a lot of great comments but I'm still not sure exactly what my next step should be.

For those with AMD AM2+ boards and DDR2

I'll start with a story. Computer crashed in January...I lost everything after corrupting the hard drives.

Lemme rephrase this... will this have any effect on DAW users?

I am really unsure what is coming or not coming with Windows 8. I don't know but I don't think I will have any use for Metro but I will..

Is the Echo Mia messing me up?

I'm asking here, before I tear my system down, in case anyone knows for sure: Since SONAR came out, I've used it with much satisfaction on five different computers, several SONAR versions, and two or three Windows OS versions. A constant has been the fairly frequent complete crash of the sound en..

Memory speeds

Hi all Just wondering if anyone knows whether or not memory speed and memory clock speed are the same thing? I'm fairly sure they are and I'm trying to decide which RAM to buy. I have found this one at amazon which I know for sure is the same as I have on my board right now but also a cheaper one at..
