For example, right now I can see a great deal on OverclockersUK for a 8GB 2400MHz memory kit from Kingston, which is simply an amazing price for that kind of speed on DDR3. With how much I use Google's Chrome Browser, I'm personally considering this kit as a purchase. 

I LOL'd

 

 

time to buy more ram. even though I dont use all mine already

They'll only drop so much, they might go lower but eventually they'll shoot up again.

Most of it is from tabs with youtube vids, if I bookmark them then I wont get round to watching them for months so I just open them up in another window :D

The rest? Other stuff to watch (that I can't get a DL for), PCPP, some threads I'm still reading through and that's about it tbh.

I'd probably use my win 7 ultimate key on my desktop so I can use more than 16 GB of RAM......but do I really need more than 16GB?

All 4 slots are filled with my i5 rig, 4x4GB doesn't leave me any room for upgrading.

Might be the time to buy myself another 8GB then... though I still don't fill my current  8GB, I'll pat myself on the back and call it "futureproofing".
