Genuinely surprised at the differece

Had I realised it would have made THIS much of a difference, I wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of looking into SSD upgrades.

haha, I remember going from 8 to 16 gig of ram and I thought I bought a new laptop.. That and a laptop cooling pad. Then I hooked up a dock so I have two 22" LCDs and life is great.

Yeah, when I bought it, it had 2 X 2GB chips in 2 of the 4 slots. I then added 2 X 4GB into the empty slots and made a total of 12 GB... So today I took the original 2 X 2GB chips out and put 2 4GB chips in their place to give me the maximum its supposed to support - 16GB

I've felt it was getting a bit slower lately (It's a late 2009 model anyway) but Im genuinely surprised how much of a boost that extra 4GB has given me - I expected a slight difference, but not what Ive got so Im in a good mood now and chuffed as fuck.

Infact, I'm so pleased I'm not even going to claim a refund from amazon like I usually do, by saying that it didn't arrive

That'll do it, especially if you are booting the OS from an SSD. I don't notice much from my SSD drives in terms of day to day use, but damn when I boot up or restart my PC it happens in a flash.

we´ve just gone from 8 to 16gb on our acer laptop, she runs so fast now, should last for years

Ram drive will help speed up things as well if you have enough to ram to put your most used programs onto it.
