Would it be smart to trade my ram for...

[Mrvile]

I currently use 1GB of some pretty nice overclocker's ram (see sig). However, I've heard that some games are beginning to use 2gb ram (ahem BF2), and since I run AMD I don't really have a use for good OCing ram. Would it be a good idea to trade in my two sticks of 512MB OCing ram for two sticks of 1GB value ram? I'm thinking maybe Corsair or Mushkin, but I just don't see the point of having OCing ram when I can just run a divider or something, especially with AMD.

It's not a bad idea.

However, BF2 & MMORPGs are the only games that i know of that really benefit from having over 1024 MB of RAM, so i wouldn't upgrade unless you actually play those.

I do look to play BF2 eventually, once I get bored of CS, and I noticed that Maya lags a lot while starting and exiting it, although I don't use Maya extensively, so it's not that big a problem. But I figure, might as well have 2gb of ram over 1, since there's no difference (in my case) between the types of ram themselves.

Send me your 1gb OCZ EL Gold Rev2 DDR500, & you can buy 2x1024 MB Corsair VS

Send me 170 bucks in return and it's a deal. No wait, I think I'll bump it up to 200 just cuz you said that
