    I'm getting my M51SN-B1 on monday and i was thinking of getting windows vista Ultimate + Windows Xp for it. The M51SN-B1 comes with 3 gigs of ram, and i was thinking if i invested $70 in 4 gigs of dual channel memory would i see a noticable difference in game framerates? Especially in games like Call of Duty 4, and Crysis? Thanks.

    You will only be able to use 200-500 MB of the extra RAM. You GPU is the bottleneck anyways.

    No difference in framerates, but things might load a little quicker.
