currently on 2gb 800mhz DDR2
Going on Win7 64bit ina couple weeks

1- Get another 2gb 800mhz DDR2
2- Get 4gb 1066mhz DDR2
3- Get 4gb 1333mhz DDR3 (have a combo MoBo)

The price of 2 & 3 are so close though... DDR3 was cheaper couple weeks ago but has now shot up by £20.

My cpu (Q6600) only has a FSB of 1066mzh would this be a problem?
 
I would get another 2gb 800mhz ddr2 memory as there isn't a big difference between the 3 suggestions you have offerd. Having 800mhz, it gives you head room to play around with your oc. Although, make sure u get the memory with the same timings and voltages and the same speed.
 
yeah i will get the exact same RAM, but its out of stock now :( ...

is the DDR3 not a great improvment? even with regards to games?

thanks
 
I would just wait or contact ocuk and see when stocks will come in, gives you an idear. Also, you won't see a difference. You will do in windows as it will be a bit more snappier but not worth it. To see a noticeable difference in games, you will need to have 1600mhz ddr3 memory.

Good luck :D
