I have 3GB in my computer thats why I opted for the 4GB model, but I may
remove 1GB of memory out of my computer since it's mismatched. I have two
1GB sticks of memory and two 512MB sticks of memory that I had left over
from a friends computer rebuild, so I stuck them in, but I'll probably
remove them since they are mismatched and I think slightly slower than my
two 1GB sticks of memory. In which case I'd probably benefit from just a
2GB USB flash device instead of the 4GB which Im going to try to return
today since I have no reason to keep a USB flash thumb device in my
household.
