    Nice score, the extra ram may be over kill, use task manager to see your actual usage.
    Yeah, 16GB would definately be overkill at this point - the highest I've seen it was around 5500MB while using a virtual machine (Win XP with 3.25 GB dedicated RAM). The only reason I was considering the extra 8 gigs is the price. It seems the older and more outdated RAM gets, the more expensive it gets.
