How much memory are you using with a W7-x64 install? MS say 2GB so in reality I assume that is 4GB.

I am currently running 4GB of DDR2-PC8500 (4X1GB) and am wondering if I should trash that and go 8GB (4x2GB) or if 6GB will give me a nice boost with only trashing 2 of my current 1GB modules?

Whaddya think?

I am running Win 7-64 with 6GB - my motherboard can map maximum of 8GB though and apparently needs 500mb of my RAM addressing for hardware making only 5.5 Gb available to windows
