Hello everyone, just wanted to state this is my first forum post.

I Have a duel core 3.0ghz processor and 2GB of DDR2 800 ram (32-bit system)

I am upgraded my system to 8GB of DDR2 800 (6400) ram and a 64 bit system.

Will I notice a HUGE performance upgrade?

I also upgrade my graphics card from an 8600 gt to a 9800 GTX+

well, for the ram, going from 2GB to 4GB is about the same as 2GB to 8GB (you only really need 4GB), so yes, though, i suppose you wouldn't need more memory for that computer in the near future if you went 8GB

for the graphics, yes, you will see a performance increase of GPU power, but, what is your exact CPU, you might bottleneck the GPU if your CPU is not fast enough
