I don't think you will need over 8GB within a couple years, when we do DDR 4 should be ready and time to change to that anyway....

You should use 2x4Gb, as dual channel is going to make loading everything faster, as you have two RAM slots to transfer data instead of one.

I totally agree
DDR4 is being released with Haswell-E next year. Can't wait to sink my teeth into their new extreme series processor and see what Nvidia has to offer
