I've got some GC's to spend at the egg and I'm considering increasing my ram to 8GB, (I'm currently running the G-skill 1000Mhz modules.) Big question them becomes... is it worth it; would I see a difference in anything beyond media encoding or would it be a waste?

Has anyone seen any user created multiplayer maps yet for Stalker? It's a hell of a lot of fun to play at lan events, the only drawback is that some maps are so damned big if you have less than 16 people you are chasing your tail most of the time, (or picking the sinper round outta your teeth.)
I picked up a kit the other day, (ThermalTake,) yea I know its not the highest quality but I wanted an all in one solution that was compatible with a socket A board and it was relatively inexpensive so it fits nicely into my test bed.
