Would an upgrade be worth it?

System specs are in my sig. I know XP 32 bit can only recognize 3-3.5meg, but 3 is better than 2 and even though I'm not interested now, Vista will probably crop up sometime in the future. I'm looking at OCZ gold 4gb (2 x 2gb) at Newegg, which has a good deal now with a MIR. I don't have a lot of experience with mem and am wondering if the move from 667 to 800 (cas 5) is worth the $80-$100. I'm also considering upgrading my E4300 to a Q6600 down the line abit. Whatcha think?

If u have a E4300 @ 3.0 then keep it dont upgrade it
For the RAM, well 2GB is enough for now and laos if u want to upgrade to
4GB, then go for a RAM which has 4-4-4-x timings

Do u really have any problems with your rig ? its a solid one
Remember upgrade something when u realy dont get the performance u want

u have E4300@ 3.0 + 2GB RAM + 8800GT which is a perfect combination

Thanks Maziar. Good advice. My rig is running fine. I'll wait.

once the upgrade bug bites, it doesn't let go. i'm past the point of return, there's no turning back. Welcome to the dark side
