Oh! 24GB..it will be craziness if home user use this. I’m ready to buy a PC on coming Saturday and I will add a 2GB RAM on it, will later add another 2GB if I feel any need.

2 GB is enough for most people
I just happened to have a spare 1 GB so I added it
unless you’re running a server, 24GB is over kill… even for games.
Even most games can cope with less than that as a server
(Well I guess it depends on what kind of games though)
having 4 gb myself and its doing good, would never worry about adding anymore gb of ram, however just wondering if the fsb is not able to carry data at that speed(mhz) then the amount of ram would not do any good,
I guess it’s still better than using the hard disk as a virtual memory? I don’t know memory transfer in FSB works though, so I can’t comment much on that
