Looking for decent memory!

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a decent batch of memory to run games such as F.E.A.R and mainly BF2 and BF2142(When it's released).

My current system consists of:

AMD 3.7 (San Diego)
320GB WD
Sapphire PURE RD580 CrossFire MOBO
ATI x800GTo2 (OC'd to x850)
512 of standard RAM.

I also do some work in photoshop, so ideally I'd like to get 1.5-2gb of ram, which can be upgraded if needed in the future.

Thanks!

Hardly anything in stock anymore and what there is, quite expensive, these are about it:

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS3 (GE2GB3200BDC) (MY-046-GL)
£152.74

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS3 (MY-039-CS)
£164.49

OcUK Value 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit (MY-006-OK)
£135.11

The GeIL use to be popular, often ran well above spec. Both Corsair and GeIL have lifetime warranties too

You'll find a massive boost for those uses going from 512 to 2GB, it'll be like a whole new computer!

Sounds good, I've also had a few recommendations for Crucial memory, but I'm not sure about that. Anyone confirm?

Warranty support is supposed to be good but no 2GB kits in stock that I can see. Ballistix kits had a nasty failure rate too which would put me off a little.
