I see your logic! Next thing for me is to work out which 1GB sticks I should go for! If the diff in performance is negligable between an expensive stick of ram and one a little less pricey, then I would probably get the cheaper one and put more money into the g-card or on other things.
The only brands that seem to be sold in this country are Corsair, OCZ and Kingston. Corsair has been said to be a bad choice if I get a DFI lanparty nf4 SLI-DR. So I guess that leaves me with OCZ and Kingston.
(if you're interested in seeing what limited choice we get in this country then here you go:
