Zipzoomfly and Newegg are selling 2x1gig 800Mhz RAM modules for 37.99 after a rebate, and im just wondering would it be worth to add another 2 gigs to my current system. Here are the specs:

E6600
P965 DS3
2x1 Gig 675mhz
Raptor & 250GB HD
7600GT
Seasonic 430 watt
20inch Dell WPF2007
Windows Vista x64

Mostly use the system for gaming such as CS:S, Age of Empires III online, some Guild Wars. It runs okay now, but would adding another two gigs for cheap be worth it? In the future ill probably upgrade my graphics card to take advantage of today's games, along with a 24inch monitor when the budget allows.

Since you're running Vista 64 you can't go wrong with another 2GB, whether it will make any noticeable different I don't know. But from reading around Vista really needs about 4GB.

Yes,4 GBs is going to feel better than the 2GB you have now.
I'm on Vista 32 so only a bit over 3GB is recognised...but I sure noticed it after the install.I have 3008MB RAM available and it was worth the upgrade.
At these prices...madness not to.

Fair enough, 4 gigs it is. Thanks guys.

I think your memory is kind of DDR2 667 or something.
So in this case, after you add 800MHz memory
your system will run memory speed at the lowest speed (667 or 675 MHz)
not 800Mhz.
