Well I did the test over there at speakeasy; 5109 KBPS download and 2123 KBPS upload. I did it a couple times and they varied, by 125KBPS for upload. Is this good?

I've read about getting no less than 2 2GB Sticks at a time but I don't know if I can swing that kind of money at this time(I've spent a small fortune already on my new MP and display and items for my recording studio). 4GB's just seems like overkill a bit for me. The most I'll be running at any one time anytime soon is Logic for recording and those won't be HUGE projects really. I see the point of buying the most RAM at up front to avoid having to upgrade later but I'd also just sort of expect prices to come down for RAM overtime and it not really be such a big deal "shooting myself in the foot" buying smaller sticks now. Does that make any sense?

If your recording in Logic your going to want 2 gigs ram minimum. I'll be getting 4 gigs because I want to run Logic and virtual instrument plugins. I've been doing lots of reading on setting up my home studio and it seems there is a noticeable difference going from 2 to 4 gigs but after that the difference is negligible. Are you familiar with tweakheadz Lab and KVR?
