    I've decided to purchase a F3SV-A1 or B1.

    My question is, will I see a significant difference in performance with 3GB of RAM versus 2GB, running Vista Home Premium 32-bit ? I am on somewhat of a budget and wondering if the extra $100 or so would be worth it.

    I play a few RTS games (WCIII) and EVE Online. The rest of my computer use is typical internet surfing, music, photos, etc...

    Thanks !

    If you can't afford it, get a 2GB x 1. Then when you later want to upgrade to 64 bit you can just stick another 2GB in.

    You'll only see it if you do heavy multimedia programming or run 1,000,000 files at the same time.

    It won't hit in 2 years though
