I built my rig a few years back (Intel Core 2 Duo E8500, Asus P5Q Pro mobo, Radeon HD 4870 1GB). I can't remember the exact RAM but CPU-Z tells me 4GB Dual DDR2 with a DRAM frequency hovering around 400 MHz. I feel like tinkering with the rig a bit and thought a good addition might be additional/all new RAM. What advice would you give? What would provide me with a noticeable difference in performance?
Upgrade from 4GB DDR2 to what?

The cooler and OC'ing interests me. I never considered OC'ing before but maybe I should. Also I have those 'silent' Noctua fans (can't remember exact model but were they best when I got them) for my case and have actually always found the PC a bit noisy. Maybe this is the stock intel fan on the cpu.
Sliver, do you mean run my currently installed memory faster? Through the BIOS?
