Memory upgrade question

Currently I'm running 2x1 GB Ocz Reaper DDR @ 900mhz. I also have a GTX260 with 896mb of ram and I'm running it on XP 32 bit.

I'm running games onto the page file now, Warhead mainly. I'm probably going to end up waiting for Windows 7 or at the very least Deneb and Nehalem to come out before a major overhaul. My understanding is that XP pro will also take your VGA memory into account counting towards the 4GB limit.

Should I buy a single 1Gb or just change out what I have for something like 4GB link and waste a little bit? I would like to keep my current overclock and maybe an e8500 @ 4ghz towards the end of this year.

$20 will get me a 1Gb stick shipped. 1Gb link
 
I have run 2x2gb in xp 32bit with my 8800gtx, (768mb), and it showed 3250 I believe for the ram. I wouldn't run 3 sticks as I think you wouldn't have dual channel anymore.
