I agree. I just installed F8 on an AMD system with 4G and just updated
to 8G.
I do recommend that you check the make of ram and make sure it is
compatible with our motherboard. I have an ASUS M2M32 motherboard and
the ram was an issue. I was having a hard time to find memory that was
certified for the board. One brand was discontinued. Make sure that
the BIOS settings for timing are correct for your type of RAM.
I read the reviews and most of the issues were solved by using certified
RAM. Not that easy when looking for 4gig kits.
I thought all RAM was the same but it isn't.
I also read that is is advisable to check for the latest BIOS from ASUS.
