Two questions:<br />
Will upgrading my memory to 32Gig from 8Gig improve performance. &nbsp;(or is 16Gig enough?) &nbsp;I'm doing video and audio editing.<br />
Does the manufacturer of memory matter? &nbsp;I read in some gaming mags that the maker of memory DOES matter. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I don't mind paying extra money for more memory or a better manufacturer but I don't want to throw money.<br />
I have a Dell X8700-1257BLK<br />
I have Windows 7 64 Bit home edition.<br />
I currently have two 4 gig modules:<br />
2Rx8 &nbsp;PC3 12800U &nbsp; 11-12-B1 &nbsp;SK Hynix
