Want to upgrade my computer for this game, need some advice.

never understood the resistance to higher speed memory if your system supports the higher speeds...especially with the last several generations of processors and graphics cards.

Even 3 year old CPU's memory interfaces are north of 25GB/sec throughput---newer ones are clocking in over 40GB/sec. 16x PCI-e 2.0 was capable of up to 64GB/sec in theory--3.0 is theoretically capable of 120+GB/sec. Even the cheaper graphics cards may move data at rates north of 64GB/sec, with better cards exceeding 100GB/sec. And people settle for 13GB/sec system memory bandwidth. Even more confusing with today's prices. Sure, you can get 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3-1600 (12800/sec) at around $30-$40 online....but you can also get DDR3-2133 (17000/sec) for about $45-$50. You will be surprised at the difference it can make for just a little bit more.

Seriously... seeing some DDR3-2400 (19GB/sec) memory in 2x 4GB packs for just under $50, with free shipping. If a system supports that speed, why not invest in it?
