I'm not sure if the extra 0.5 GB of usable RAM would translate into any real-world performance improvement on W8. I thought the Corsair Platinum RAM was going to do the trick, however it was disingenuously marked as CL2 at DDR400 when it clearly isn't. I'm not sure I want to roll the dice on eBay again. I've found that dual-channel DDR400 kits are a little pricy (especially performance CL2).
