I am working on my next build and I'm not sure if I should go with 8gb or 16gb of ram ?
I know that in the past, there were times where more memory was not necessarely better, even sometimes it would cause reduced performance, I wonder if this will still be the case ?
I will be using windows 7 64bit for OS.
I have a dualscreen setup.
I will have a SSD as main OS / Program drive.
I use my computer mainly for work and gaming.
Work involves photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver. ( I am a webdesigner ) I am a very intensive multi-tasking guy, just as an example, I currently have about 5 programs open, i have 2 firefox browsers each with over 20 tabs...
Gaming currently is limited to SC2, League Of Legends, and BF2142 , but that will change with my new system...
Do you advice 8gb or 16gb ( DDR3 1600 )?
If i get 8gb, I can put the money on the GPU...
Overall my next build should be around 2000$.
Thx for your advises.
