Then I found out that DDR3's performance advantage over DDR2, only happens when you have RAM installed, in multiples of 3. So to get more than 6, and get the benefits of DDR3, I would need 12GB of RAM. Is this too much? Is there any advantage to 12GB? Would this be a disadvantage, somehow? Thanks for any info 
I have 12 on Vista 64. Ram is not very expensive, so if your going for the gusto, get it. If you are trying to save some money get 6. My MB has 6 slots, if your does also, get 6 now, and get another 6 later if you think you need it.
