More RAM!; I got more ram

I just installed 12gigs of ram going from 6gigs. As I expected I don't see any noticeable difference so far but I got it for free and it more or less makes it so if the jump in ram usage happens i'll be covered. I expect windows 8 to require more but I have not looked enough into it to see if they have said anything about its requirements yet.

No reason needed for it just I had the resources to get it for free from Intel so took it.

I think a new graphics card will be my next update. I have a decent computer so far and that is the only thing really lacking.

Processor - Intel i7 CPU 960
Ram - 12 gig
HDD - 1 TB
Graphics - Nvidia GeForce GTX 260
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

See my sig for my system specs. I usually run around 5 GB usage on my RAM. I use two docks, Compiz: an OpenGL compositing manager, 20 tabs in Firefox, and Chromium. When I start up Blender, GIMP, Steam or OnLive even more ram is used.

You will probably find that your computer may run a bit faster. Ram is where most of your data is stored when the computer is on. Change some of the setting in what ever video editor you use. Give it more ram to use and you will see quite a speed up.

I use windows live movie maker and it works great for what I need. On its setting I hardly see anything to alter though so unsure if I can edit much on this.

Ya, that will not have some of the options a better editor would. If it works for you then you are fine. With some thing else it will allow you to set the ram usage and use the GPU to speed up renders.
