The best price/capacity is 16GB of DDR2 (8x2GB) - if 4GB sticks become more reasonably priced then 32GB (which is preferred size of an OS drive)would be brilliant - as it stands the total package price is too expensive by far. EDIT: I checked my OS drive and I am using 12.8GB (without outlook,word, exel or powerpoint installed) - which kinda proves that 16GB is useable, but if (like me) you would want all your everyday applicationsand OS on the fastest drive, might be worth using 4x4GB sticks and 4x 2GB sticks (if youc an mix that way?)
