I`m currently running a quad-core with 4 gigs of RAM, and I have a habit of keeping an eye on my CPU and RAM usage. When I start gaming, I usually end up spiking at least two of my cores to 60%+, but my RAM use doesn`t typically vary more than 10-15%.
When I start my computer up, I end up at about 60-62% RAM use, and when I game it ends up at 70-75%. Would it be beneficial to move up to 8 gigs, or is that more or less pointless?
Stats are as follows:
Q9400 @ 2.66GHz
4 Gigs of RAM
Radeon 4650
Typical gaming at the moment is L4D2, Supreme Commander 2, etc etc. I`ll be upgrading my vidcard in a few months when the new generation comes out, so that`s something to bear in mind.
in windows vista and 7 the more ram u have, the more it will allocate to the ram. it looks like u are using a lot of the ram, but windows is actually putting the more used programs into the ram for faster access. unlike XP which does not allocate your available memory to good use.
i have 8GB on my windows machine and starts up i'll use about 40%, but if i take out the ram, and down to 2GB, i'll still only use about 40% at start up
Would using Speedboost (via flash drive) be beneficial in this case?
I have 2GB of ram, so would adding a 4GB flash drive allow a better memory allocation?
My girlfriend's next period should be any day now, maybe I can drug her into letting me near her vagina. Apparently Nyquil fucks her up really good.

I'd nix at least the bolded ones at startup unless you REALLY use them that much. I have no clue what Nateon is. Personally I prefer to have as little as possible running at boot so that when I do need my computer up quick it is quick.
