Masblaster, insulting people is not the best way to go about making friends in the community...Just want to state that...

8GB of ram doesn't really have much use in the gaming field, but some people like to just disable the paging file =P....Still not a difference in performance though if you never break 4gb's...But if I had the choice between 4gb or 8gb, I'd take 8gb, but I actually can break the 4gb barrier since I do video editing/effects, graphic design, getting into 3d modeling, and other fields. Especially After effects with Iron Grid Nucelo pro running, basically creates an additional affer effects process for each CPU you have, 400mb of ram dedicated to each..Eats a LOT of ram, but boy does it make working in after effects smooth...lol..Since I have 8 cores, it would really help...LOL. (I'm on 2gb right now >_<. Don't have the funds to pick up those tasty cas4 ddr2-800 FBDimms that kingston just released =(...)

Regarding the memory situations, 32 bit operating systems can only address 4gb of memory, TOTAL...That also includes video ram and other factors...Which is why we only see 2.8-3.5 gb of ram with 4gb installed. The amount of ram displayed in a 32bit OS heavily depends on your system configuration.

Now, back onto track..

Clinkz, are you 100% sure you will oc?...If so we'll go quad, BUT...If you are going to be replacing your mobo/processor within the next year and a half or so, It'd still be best to just pick up a e8400 dual core...They oc wonderfully, and you'll probably still see better performance in non-mulithreaded applications.

But yea, give me an idea on when you would want to upgrade, because if you do, you'd have to pick up a new board, cpu, and ram...Unless you wanted to go DDR3 now so you can just drop it into a nehalem board...But not recommended considering the price of DDR3..ESPECIALLY that you have to pick up 3 sticks for trichannel on the upcoming nehalem platform.

If you aren't buying till august, I think it'd be best I didn't put the list together just yet, but do keep in mind you'll pretty much have a cutting edge system in terms of performance. So no worries ^_^...

If you want me to put the list together still, I could, but it will most likely change by august.
