    I have a simple question: is the E6400 able to use the 8 GB of RAM fully? I have read some threads here about chipset limitations etc.

    Could those of you with the E6400 and 8 GB of RAM quickly check whether your 8 GB are fully usable by the system?

    Thanks in advance!

    Confirmed. As far as I am aware, the 8GB is fully available to the system.

    Cheers

    How is the performance 4gig vs 8gig?
    Is it worth to dubble up?

    I guess it depends on what you intend to do with your computer. For my work I do number crunching on Virtual Machines. With 8GB of RAM I can run two VMs simultaneously and allocate a decent amount of memory to each machine whilst still being able to use my host computer. That makes it worth it. Without that I doubt I would need 8GB.

    In my case I might have to use very large arrays in MATLAB. For normal users, 8 GB is too much.
