Worth the upgrade?

[lollox]

Hi All, hopefully some of you could point me in the right direction.

I currently run 2gb of c4 800 geil ram and i'm considering the jump to 4gb.

My system should (hopefully) be in my sig, currently everything is running at stock speeds but i intended to ramp up the speeds when i have more time. I also tend to get itchy feet and change up hardware more often then i should, so a new mobo & processor shouldnt be ruled out.

The options are:
1. Drop in another 2gb of the same geil ram for a very pocket friendly £30
2. Disguard the current ram, and go for a 2x2 config (recommendations needed)
3. Do nothing

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

What OS are you running as that will decide if going to 4GB will give you much gain ?

welcome to the forums

you may get banned because of your name.

4gb makes a noticeable difference from, but if you're using 32bit windows, you can only use/see 3-3.5gb

upgrade to 64bit vista/xp
