More gigabytes on board

My machine has 8GB of RAM now. I could still work with 4GB, but - you know - memory got so cheap these days... It's not worth using error-prone data & structure packaging any longer (I mean more error-prone than cf algorithms themselves). Not to mention that this challenge is not the only thing I'm currently working on.
There's bad news though: my motherboard won't accept more RAM, so the next step would be to replace the whole mobo ;-)

I still remember buying additional RAM for my first PC machine: it was in mid-1990's, I was doubling my machine's 4MB (some silly game required 8MB). BTW: Windows 95 worked really nice with 4MB, as far as I remember.
Both me and my machine(s) have changed a lot since then...

Let's find out if more RAM helps in this contest.
