    Hi all.

    The 4820TG i'm gonna purchase in about 10 seconds comes with 4GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1066mHz.

    Few questions:
    Will i notice a major improvement by getting 8GB(2x4) of 1333mhz?
    Is it gonna be worth it? Will I notice a huge difference?
    My main purpose is gaming and daily use at school.

    Also, i've never bought laptop ram. Can someone link me to a good but cheap choice?

    Your only going to see a noticable increase if your running RAM intensive programs like AutoCad ect. If its just for school and light gaming, its a null point to expand to 8GB. Also, unless your CPU is an i7 the ram will run at 1066 not 1333Mhz.

    The only game were I think that RAM might help is Minecraft, if your blowing up half the world that is.
