It also gives you that diagnostic option if your gpu was ever having problems.
I'm currently using 18/24 gigs right now. I can't imagine getting by with just 8 gigs. :?
You're right about the diagnostic option, I hadn't considered that. But since he was asking about his specs for a gaming rig, it seems curious that he wouldn't get a motherboard more oriented to that. (If they're more expensive, it's only because they have additional features. Removing the parts required for integrated graphics brings down manufacturing costs and thus lowers the overall price slightly.)
