First my specs.....
Intel 2.6c @ 3.12Ghz
P4C800-E Deluxe rev 1
BFG 6800 Ultra @ 445mhz/1.14ghz
OCZ PC-3700 512MB rev 1 @ 2.5,3,3,6 @240mhz fsb
Creative Audigy 2
Maxtor 80GB S-ATA 6Y080M0
23" Cinema Display HD
As you can see above, my limiting factor is my ram, and i've been debating for a month now whether i should jump ship to 1GB or to a full 2GB, mainly cuz i'm caught between performance and o/c'ing. here are my 2 choices at the moment....
OCZ Gold GX 2GB
or
OCZ PC-4800 1GB EL
i didn't list the balistix or corsair modules due to the price (230$ limit) and past experiences with my board cuz they've been hell on it for some reason, and lately there's been a bad shipment on balistix as well. I know that going to a gig will make a dramatic difference, but for others 2GB isnt a huge gain from a gig. But since i need to o/c my board to atleast a 250-275fsb (i've made it run that high before with other sticks i borrowed once) and i'm running fear, bf2, wow (huge one there), and cod2, not to mention i multi-task like a mofo. in addition i like playing my games @ 1920x1200 full AA/AF with a nice avg 10-15fps cuz im crazy like that. i'm already well aware of how huge a difference 2 gigs makes on bf2 and wow, but i also know my cpu and board is a pretty old so there may not be a huge differrence there either. now my main question from you guys is how much of an improvement you've all had across the board between a gig and 2 gigs, and i dont know whether to sacrifice clock speed for more memory. so give me a holla and tell me what you guys think, and don't worry about being critical either cuz atleast your being honest
