What would you do?

Should I keep thing the way it is, or should I decide on something else?
I think it looks good, but I'm not sure on the memory. Maybe something cheaper and two gig, or wait and get another stick later.

Your opinion is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Might as well stepup to 2gigs now, more furture proof that way. Also might wanna consider if whether you'll be doing OC.

You really dont need the extra gig. If you have the money go for it, but if moneys a little tight just save it. The games now dont really benefit that much from the extra gig.

However when Vista comes out thats when having 2 gigs will really show

What are you smoking? 2GB is absolutely necessary for FEAR, COD2, Quake4, and BF2. Not to mention MMORPG titles.

Also, I believe that SilentPCReview.com compared the ZNPS9500CU to the Thermalright XP-120 and the XP-120 came out ahead; and the improved Thermalright SI-120 outperforms it's predecessor. Not as pretty, though. A little less espendy.

Is there another brand or model you would recommend over my selection?
Thanks

Get the 2 gigs of RAM. Those who say it doesn't benefit don't have 2 gigs.
