Yes I know that, however I don't have any stalls and the maps load fast and I use max setting on the game. so that was kind of my point, if it's not broke don't fix it. i'm planning to use this memory in my next build if BF4 recommends 4.0GB
Not me.. not at all really.

There is just no point. Why would I buy 32GB when I cant manage to use close to 8GB? Hell, with Chrome up and around 10 tabs, Teamspeak, Origin, Steam, and BF3 going (among the 60+ tasks that are active on my system), I barely break 5GB. If there comes a time where its needed, I will buy more... but the reality is, for MY uses, that wont happen before I upgrade to DDR4 Im sure. In other words, one can pay $40 now and likely be good until their next upgrade (2-3 years), or one can pay 3+ the cost for 4x8GB of ram and likely never use 1/4 of it. I can see someone getting 16GB to 'future proof' but 32GB, unless you are actually using it, is a waste of money for the way I (and I feel most) use their PC's.
I'm happy to put the $100 in my pocket personally.
This also happens quite rarely :\
see for me i was dropping about $2000 for the new build adding another $70 to the bill seemed like small fries to be future proofed and not have to worry about ram again til im building a DDR4 system
You actually use 16GB though so its not remotely a waste for you. However if you didnt, I see your point in the cost of the rig, but, its still wasteful. Just less wasteful % wise than a $1k system doing the same thing. Again, since you use it, its worth it. But for me, no chance would I do that knowing what my needs are and my upgrade patterns as well as what a typical user needs these days and the next year or two (DDR4 will be out).see for me i was dropping about $2000 for the new build adding another $70 to the bill seemed like small fries to be future proofed and not have to worry about ram again til im building a DDR4 system
I wouldnt even do that unless you benchmark at Hwbot. Ram speed for the vast majority of PC functions show little to no gains outside of synthetic benchmarks. My daily driver has 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 and will have that until I upgrade.I'd rather get half as much ram that's 800MHz faster for 50 bucks less for futureproofing

I was just wondering if you had some bench mark links on that.Renders take much, much longer on slow RAM than faster RAM--
i would like to see the same, i have seen no difference in any of my 3d rendering above DDR1600I was just wondering if you had some bench mark links on that.
