If I was to go from 4GBto 8GB will it make a difference on speed? I have Patriot Extreme Master 4GB and if it does make a difference on speed than I want to get the G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 2x4GB.

Re: 4GB to 8GB

Depends on the application(s) used. Gaming will see minimal improvement at best and basic internet and word processing will see none at all. Programs which require a lot of memory, such as audio/video editing and image manipulation should show significant improvement.

Re: 4GB to 8GB

If you are using a single 4Gb RAM stick, going to a matched pair 2x2 or 2x4GB (1333 or 1600MHz for the Mobo in your sig) should improve performance considerably by taking advantage of Dual Chanel operation.
