Some of the problem the question caused, was a differeance of opinions, or a differance in approaches to the question or parts of the whole question.
The question ended up with people battling over different aspects of a complex question.
For future referance limiting your question to single things, could keep the question from being observed 2 different ways. 3 If you account for the price thing added.

It was not so much the question iself that created the opinion, in this case it was the Duality of the question. "More memory is better , because the way the system utalises it." "Faster memory is faster, the value of such to be determined by the buyer."
I thought the question was ok, it wasnt until it was answered that you could see the train wreck it created.
If at any time you could break your question into single items, facting out that one item would endure time, be more useful for others, and would not be observed different ways.
