Hello,
I am curious to know what is the main bottleneck in a system regarding graphics and gaming?
is it mostly memory? or Video Card?

I know for memory quantity you pretty much need about 2 gigs nowadays, but would memory speed matter a whole lot? for example:
2 Gigs of 333MHZ vs 2 Gigs of DDR2 667 MHz
with same videocard

would there be a noticeable difference in gameplay?

Thank you for your opinions
 
The memory speed corrolates to CPU performance. More bandwidth generally allows high performance from the CPU.

But for gaming, the biggest increase in performance comes from faster video cards.
