4gb of cheapo v s 2gb of highspec

I would say get a decent 2 x (1gb) kit of ram. Either ddr800 or maybe higher if needed.

in reality there are deminishing returns to anything past 2 gigs. That used to be 1 gig not too long ago.

Unless you're taking advantage of a ram drive, 2 gigs is generally plenty.

Actually i noticed quite a nice jump in things going from 2 -> 4. 2gb is really the low limit for DX10 games or any games coming out this Quarter IMO. I tried to run 2gb, but the pc was always grinding on the HD. Jump to 4 and its gone over that edge.

I will say that i havent seen my pc use over 4gb but one time soo far, and that was more an intentional run. 4gb is likely to be the sweet spot come 2008. Only issue is that there just isnt that much fast ram out there to run 2x2gb configs (leaves option to go 6-8gb for running virtual pc's).
