I'm going to be using this machine for gaming and i was wondering if i should have 4, 6 or 8GB of memory for 64Bit Vista?

I was going to buy 8GB but i thought i should ask.

Currently:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz (awaiting the Phenom)
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe
EVGA 8800ultra KO 768MB
WD Raptor X 150GB 10k RPM
Seagate 7200RPM
1000w Power supply
Cooler Master Stacker 830

You won't need any more than 4GB for gaming....for now. So my reccommendation would be to get 2x2GB now, and get another 2x2GB in a year or two (as prices continue to drop). Or, considering prices aren't too bad now, just get 8GB now to be prepared for the future.
