    Hi

    My new replacement M17xR2 is on its way (finally) :)

    A quick question... it is coming with standard 4Gb 1333hz memory. I know on the R1 that this was one of the weaker components.

    What type of memory would you suggest to replace/upgrade to?

    I am sure I read somewhere that 8Gb was not worth doing as there arent many progs that need it. But if I wanted to go to 8Gb, what would you recommend?

    Thanks
