Hallo I'm running 8GB of G-Skill Ripjaws, DDR3-1600 on a MSI P55-GD65 Motherboard ,I want to buy 8GB more to max out the Memory , will that make my Computer any Faster?????? , or is it just a waste of Money??

Waste of money you only need 16gb of RAM if running extreme rendering (really hardcore)/video editing (hardcore) or if running several virtual machines, save money for later core upgrades

You dont need it, though its a great value for the Ripjaws, I recommend them in almost every build now adays. Quality Ram and awesome customer service to boot.

^joelmartinez is right you only need that sort of RAM for crazy video encoding and editing. Also for heavy heavy application use, for instance having around 10-30 application windows open. In which case your cpu will bottlneck probably before your RAM. Spend that money else where. May be new gpu or put it into a fund for bulldozer/sandybridge investments?
