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.
