SSD, Readyboost and upgrading my RAM
Hi all,
I just purchased a new SSD and I am in love beyond all reason. It's not normal to love an inanimate object as much as I do this drive. But I do, and I'm OK with that. :)
I was wondering, I have a 16Gb flash stick that I usually used for RB. But have heard some recent discussion that RB is a "relic" from when "RAM was a commodity". RAM hasn't been a commodity for years, even before RB was popular. So, any harm in putting a 16G stick in my system and using it as RB? How about buying an internal card reader and using a high end SD card for RB? Or, is it "Forget RB dude...it's pointless at your given system specs"
Lastly, I want to upgrade my RAM anyway, I currently have 8Gb of this RAM and would like to bump it up to 16Gb - sticking with G.SKILL (maybe this?) because, IMO they are the best right now.
Please take note of my motherboard. I believe the RAM to be compatible, but I could be missing something.
Thanks all and see ya in a few!
Paul
