    It's a nice price, but in all honesty, you probably won't notice a difference in performance at all.

    Depending on your usage you can notice a nice difference. It'll definitely not hurt =p

    Very nice price - you should notice this upgrade in almost everything you do with your system.

    I've been using 8GB RAM (photography) in my systems since they were $600 kits - and they were worth it even back then (~2007).

    Windows 7 x64 really starts to 'breathe' easier with 8GB or more.
