I know this has probably come up in some shape or form.

First I play Battlefield2 (powerhungry game of the decade)
My Specs
Athlon3000 oc to 1.9
chaintech vnf4ultra
2@512 pny optima memory
gforce 6600/128 vid

My first question. Is it worth the difference in price to goto 2@1024 ddr($168) and be able to run at 1t command? Or is 4@512 ddr running at 2t command($85)? How much of a difference in performance? Lets say you had two machines with these two different configurations, howmuch is one better over the other? I have played with my 1t & 2t settings and 1t is only a little bit better.

Mem at 2t everything set to stock score 5203 cpu fps 94.5
Mem at 1t everything set to stock score 5217 cpu fps 98

Any opinions is appreciated?

P.S. yeah tryin to save a buck here...
