It depends, performance in what regard? Gaming, productivity, etc.?

If its for gaming, then no, you will notice no difference at all. The only time you will notice a performance increase is if you are doing intensive productivity work such as rendering, HD video editing, large-scale image enhancement, etc.

It was solely for gaming. Thanks for the input.

No problem, happy to help. Current gen games don't use anywhere near 16GB of RAM (including what Windows needs and anything else you have running). In fact, 6GB alone is plenty for current generation gaming. By the time we need 16GB for gaming yours and my systems will be antiques and new generations of RAM will have came out Big%20Smile
