If you had the choice between:
- 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz - 1 X 4 GB
- 8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz - 2 X 4GB ( + $49.00 )
Is it worth the extra money or is the increase in performance not
worth mentioning? Any experience with that.

Thanks.
That's a little pricey for a 4GB DIMM, but the prospect of living with
less than 8GB is unfathomable with my usage habits. Do you run a lot of
things? Do you use browser tabs? Do you compile code? If the answer
to any of these is "yes", more memory will probably help.

The more the better. Esp with i7 it should be a nobrainer, BTW doesn't
i7 have 3-channel memory controller? I then would go 3x4Gb, maybe
cheaper ram.
If nothing
else, you benefit from OS caching to memory and not swapping. That's a
nice thing to have.
