Any benefit from 8GB of RAM (4x2GB)?

I would like to know how the performance of 4 GB of 800Mhz RAM will be. Will I get any benefit from getting higher memory speed like DDR2 1333 OR DDR3 1600 for normal computer usage. I am not a overclocker.

if you are not a an overclocker having fsater ram won't be too much benefit.

with vista's ability to "superfetch" if you have more ram, apps will tend to start a bit faster.

Im not too sure if more is always better, so far im running good with 4GB. Increasing my mems to 8GB may or may not be helpful for me, but at least if my rig crashes, its a good thing that anonemus is just here in my city to rescue noobies like me...

I think, most people don't need 8GB of ram but it can boost the performance in a nice way.
