i'm getting a new laptop soon, with 1 stick of 2gb ddr2 800mhz memory in. i want a bit of head room though, since i want to play crysis on it. so i have the option of upgrading to 3gb or 4gb, the latter being in dual channel mode. is it worth the extra £10?

also i'll be in vista 32 bit, so i won't get the full extra gig anyway.

£10? ABSOLUTELY. 2GB will choke you in regular computing in vista, not to mention games. Go for 4GB.

If its a laptop, you should always max out the memory.... specially if using an OS like
vista home crash edition (Vista 32bit)......

Well, I will recommend you are grounded when you start replacing the ram.... just a heads up.. i have seen peeps spark a mobo and turn it into toast while on carpet.... not a good feeling....

If you need any help, just let me know...
