[QUOTE="enthusiast29, post: 2424238, member: 86432"] It'll definitely be noticeable. Try yourself first hand by using a single DDR3/4 4GB stick in a computer and then try any kind of browsing and document editing workload for longer than 4 hours. At least 5-7 tabs including at least 1 video watching. Windows and the web browser will hog all your RAM and the second it starts utilizing pagefile for a good chuck of foreground activity the machine will start to give micro freezes. A SATA SSD is still many many times slower than a RAM but only 5-10 times faster than HDD. Trust me, you don't wanna say paging is OK on an SSD. It's called paging for a reason and if it was OK no one would need RAM upgrades. [USER=100891]@broksindri[/USER], go ahead with 8GB RAM and sell your 4GB stick if it has only one slot. I'd suggest going with 12GB otherwise. [/QUOTE]
