Would more/faster memory do anything for me?

I was hoping someone could help me out here. I have a Q6600 which I recently overclocked to 3.2Ghz. I can't quite afford a new system at the moment so I have decided to do what I can with my current system.

I am going to upgrade from a 4850 to a 6950 (2GB) at the end of the month. I was looking though and noticed that memory at the moment is crazy low at the moment.

At the moment I have 2x2GB chips. I don't really know what I am talking about in terms of memory so I just took a screenshot of the CPU-Z memory section.



I have a Abit IP35 motherboard.

I am rambling, so basically I want to know if upgrading my memory to 2x4GB will make a difference with gaming and windows in general. I was thinking if I do get some new memory I can possibly use it in a new build in 4/5 months time.

Can someone help me out here, I want to know what makes sense here for me and also what type of memory to get if I should get any. I am in the USA and was looking at this:

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Profile Desktop.

Thanks
 
Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like I will be staying with my current memory setup for the next few months at least.

Any advice on what in the meantime would be a good purchase to boost performance than I could maybe carry over into a new system. I was looking at maybe a SSD just to run some games of.
