I haven't and I did check into it a few months ago. In all reality though, if your server is dedicated to just SageTV then the extra RAM won't do you any good. SageTV is a 32bit program that can't use more than 2 gb of RAM.

well that's some good news I guess? Although, I have up to three extenders, a Placeshifter client and an iPad client active at times...doesn't that eat up ram via the Java Heap?

It does and SageTV probably could benefit from more RAM but nothing we can do about it. I know this is a bad work around but you could always install the restart plugin and Java HEAP monitor plugin and just manually monitor the RAM usage and restart SageTV when it gets high from any extender (this is how I deal with memory).

I usually restart my Sage server once per day to overcome general sluggishness and stuttering anyways, so I hear ya there
