why not max it out, because its a waste of money, you may have it to burn, but you need to remember that many people are asking advice of the list members, as they do not, and they are asking if the need to upgrade is a genuine need with some level of impact that they are going to notice and appreciate for their hard earned money.

JAWS still crackles and slightly stutters minimally and quite randomly. If you're going to open it up, why not max it out. I used a third part 8 gig ram kit. I don't remember the brand, but as long as it has the same specs, it will do the trick.
