    yes, if windows 7 will support it. It makes a significant difference if used properly.

    Yes, however it is not supported in Win 7 ATM. Decreases boot time, caches the page file, decreases app launch time, increases battery life, decreases HDD wear.

    The 4GB model will make for a noticeable difference.

    I find my system slower with it in. (Boot times and application load times)

    After I updated my chipset drivers it will not even work anymore. But I do not miss it.
