    ...for about 40 - 50$ more than the cost of the 16K Sinclair memory module, you can get 16GB. (2 x 8GB)

    for about 100$ less than I paid for my 12 GB I can get 24GB.

    ...the only rub is I need the Win7Pro upgrade to support the full 24G and right now that is becoming legacy software and thus more expensive than even the Win8 (yuk) update.

    Mine, too. A friend of mine had a VIC-20, but I wasn't convinced until the C=64 came out.

    ...mine only supports 24G (ASUS P-6T), have to get a nw MB to go any higher and right now the finances are just not there. Still 24GB would be a big help for those large involved scenes I like to do which chew up almost 10GB during rendering. It's just getting the OS upgrade which is an issue since I have an OEM version of Win7. The sad thing is the full WIn7 Pro costs less than what I have been seeing for the upgrade (which makes little sense) but not really wanting to reinstall everything and go through the configuration issues all over again.

    Mine has 8 DIMM slots in it. ATM I have 8 4GB cause the 4 8GB were too expensive at the time.

    ...you definitely have a newer MB than I. When I got mine, 6 slots was pretty much the maximum.

    Does yours handle quad channel configuration?

    ...but what it allows you to to with it is also important. When I'm sitting here and watching a render take over 10gb of my 12gb available 1, I get just a bit concerned.

    I totally suck at layering in postwork

    Frankie was Built for Animation purposes. Believe it or not some scenes still take too long to render for my taste.

    @tjohn: This is the ultimate Gaming machine, it holds a grand total of..... ZERO games at this time.

    @All others: Just because you have not SEEN anything I've done does not mean I have NOT been doing things with this PC.
