    I'm looking to upgrade my RAM
    Currently using 2GB of Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 running at 940MHz (a nice overclock I feel)

    I'm looking to go for 4GB or even 8GB of PC2-8500.

    I will be doing a considerable amount of photo editing, rendering and video encoding so I'm thinking maybe 8GB would be better or is this overkill?

    Does anyone know where is best to try and buy or whether any of you have some to sell?

    DDR2 seems to be becoming a bit thin on the ground to buy new.

    So any suggestions?

    If you're in the USA, I have a 4GB kit of Kingston HyperX DDR2-1333 which is for sale.

    Given your Be Quiet! PSU I'm guessing UK.. Try the marketplace?

    Yeah just looking at the marketplace now, I didn't think I had made enough posts to be able to access it but apparently I have.

    What's your price range because 2 sticks 2GB dual channel DDR3 1333Mhz RAM is pretty cheap. Unless your mobo is too old to accept DDR3 RAM, in which case I would recommend you upgrade more than just your memory.
