Hi,
I'd like to know if I'd get any performance benefits from increasing the RAM on my HTPC from 2GB to 4GB?
I'm currently running Windows 7 RC 32bit on it.
Please let me know if I need to provide any additional information.
Thanks.

need more info,
What CPU, Gfx card and Tv cards does it have, presumably you are decoding DTT now?, how is the performance on 720p or 1080i signals?

Okey dokey,
I have an Intel E8400 CPU. A 8500GT video card.
I've got a Hauppauge HVR-2200 for Freeview|HD duties.
A Hauppauge HVR-4000 decoding Sky.
My TV is only 720p, and performance seems to be fine.
I do find that the HDD operates a lot though, and slows things down a bit. Wondering if additional RAM might help?
