That guy said they have had system being brought to them with 500W PSU and 2 GB RAMs of the latest kind - that did not function, but worked well, when reducing RAM size or plugging in older RAM bars. The manufacturing company has nothing to do with it (for the most they sell Infinion). Since then i meet them whenever i am in that part of the city. I also found the 10-20% formula quoted repeatedly ( at least two times) on technical sites. The faster the RAM, the more power-hungry it is. It is also getting ridiculously hot.

Your shop guys are either smoking crack, or are trying to get a big PSU sale!!!
Note the rise in wattage from 512 to 1 GB - A whole 2 Watts:
