Can someone answer my computer optimization question?

I would just add 1 gig of ram and swap cards. Anything past 2 gig is a waste of money, you won't see any gain. you can refer to Maximum PC's October 07 issue, they built the ultimate pc, best of the best, and only 2 gig ram. For that reason. Now they did have a 1333 fsb, and tweaked everything up, but still, more than 2 is a waste. Enjoy the 8800gts, those rock for the money.
