Guys, im soon to be purchasing an upgrade on my current FX-55 setup to a Q6600 Setup.

Currently ive priced up,

Q6600 95W G0 Stepping Edition will be watercooled
Asus P5N-E SLi (nforce 650) motherboard
Corsair 2048Mb of PC6400C5 memory (2x1gbmodules)

Coming in at 331.31 Inc Shpping.

OR

Q6600 (Unknown Stepping so could be B3 or G0) - will be watercooled.
Asus P5N-E SLi (Nforce 650) motherboard
A-Data 2x2Gb Modules 4096Mb PC6400C5 memory

At a cost of 350 Inc Shipping.

Looking at the factor of gaming + overclocking, running an 8800GTS GPU and looking to go SLI around christmas.

On a dell 2407WFP^^

Which setup would you take and why?

Id say the corsair, i dont think you need 4gb, and if your gaming only you will probably be using XP ..

well**

i was gonna use the 4gb as a reason to get some 64-bit vista action.

As i have a dx10 gpu, and intend on playing bioshock in dx10 along with a few games up for purchase...
... so i would definately make use of the 4gb if im running vista, ive heard its quite ram intensive.

some games also coming out with min 1gb memory specifications.
