Haven't figured out a really good test for this yet, but GW2 does seem to run with a little less crust? The world boss rush means that there's going to be crunch no matter what (the maps are full, wow), but I can actually see the attack AOEs from said bosses now.
Kate @ Rouge AerieFinally yoinked the RAM from my partner's old machine to put in mine. It... Was a very tight fit against the heat sink, but got it to sit the second try. Impatient to really test it later and see if it makes a difference. Had to do errands immediately after I finished.
