Comments on this thread say that less memory helps battery life.

Are there motherboards that would allow the OS to power-save memory modules at times, and power them back up at others (perhaps user-configured)? If not, I wonder why..

Having more of the same type of memory would not make a lot of difference.

Using different types or ram (such as you have to do to get 32gb) which is not low power will make a difference.
