I have a 3 year old PC atm with no plans until next year to do a major upgrade

I need to do a reinstall and want to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 but I only have 2GB of RAM, is it still worth going down the Windows 7 route with only 2GB of RAM ?

I mainly use the computer for games my motherboard is an ASUS P5N32-E SLI
it requires DDR2 memory with transfer rates of 800/667/533.

If the extra memory is advised for a Windows 7 install would be grateful if someone could advise me on suitable memory was thinking of 2x2GB

Thanks :D
 
1GB is the minimum for Windows 7, 2GB is recommended, I personally use 4GB of memory for my Windows 7 Desktop as use intensive applications, games and multitasking.

You'll find after a few weeks of using it, 2GB of RAM doesn't even seem enough for 7.
2X2GB sticks at 800MT/s (PC6400) is your best option, assuming your CPU is capable of the same FSB speed (800MT/s)
