Ram is pretty cheap these days even if you buy 4 4 gig sticks and populate all 4 slots. take a look at this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231315 Edited September 13, 2013 by Sgt_Twinkie Awards

I would have to check if my motherboard can fit them. Most likely it can though.

Performance increase was night and day. I currently have my 8320 OCed to 4.7ghz and a 1st gen Corsiar H50 closed loop liquid cooler,temps are 29c idle 43c at full load running 10 instances of prime 95+.I've had it OCed up to 5.24ghz but it would randomly crash so I backed it down a bit just to be on the safe side. I also have a PC with the FX-8350 in it but it will not overclock as good as the 8320.But it is a bit faster at stock clock speed. Awards
