Going to 4GB RAM... Make a difference?

[keogh]

Howdy,

Firstly my current spec is:

ASUS A8N-SLi Premium [w/ Zalman ZM-NB47J Northbridge Cooler]
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ [w/ Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro]
Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200 Twinx
BFG Geforce 7800 GTX OC [With Zalman VF700-CU]
Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type-R 580W ATX2.2 PSU

I should be getting my copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R tomorrow and I am looking forward to playing it very much, although having a 24" TFT is going to cause some serious issue performance wise running at 1920x1200!

So I wanna know if anyone feels that adding another 2GB of identical ram (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-079-CS&tool=3) to my system to total 4GB will make a performance enhancement? Or would I not really notice it? My mobo supports a max of 4GB... so not sure if tht would make a diff?

I remember many years back on a old PC I had I got another DIMM (can't remember how much it went up by) and added it to my PC and I didn't really see any difference? It was like I had peaked at the previous setup? Is this the case? Or should it always improve things?

Any help will be appreciated?

Thanks

Steve M

My apologies, I just saw this post after: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17704046 which basically says that 4GB don't make a difference.

.... unless anyone else feels differently?

It makes a small difference. Some games are up slightly. Load times are better and the system is a little snappier all round. Vista 64 here.
