I'd go with the 2GB kit from Geil.

2GB....I think a lot of current games are already at the 1GB threshold, and your current setup should last you into the next generation of games for sure.

A lot of games are at the 1GB threshold? Define "a lot"

i'd much rather have the 2gb.

1 should be enough - but go with 2 for safety

I'd go with 1 GB of low latency ram. speed matters and 1 gb is already plenty enough.

The lower latency RAM will not make a noticable impact on performance anyway so go with 2GB.

2gb, run in 1:1.
