well i recently put together my pc,e6600,x1950xtx,p5w-dh i thought id save some coin on a single gig kit of ddr2 pc2-6400 ram thinking it should be fine for a while,i was wrong turns out bf2 needs 2gig to to run smoothly at high settings and it cut load time signifantly when i went out the next day and got another gig,although if your PSU isnt upto the job load times and settings wont make any difference if your pc keeps rebooting under load.

and id add,id wish id got 2 gig dual channel kit as this would of saved slots for upgrades and run a bit faster in the benchmarks ive seen compared to 2x1gig dual channel kits

Personally i think you could do better than some of the items listed...

How's about this :

LiteON LH-20A1P-487C 20x DVD±RW x12 Ram Dual Layer DVD-Writer - (£25.13)
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (£119.84)
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - (£199.74)
Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming case (£68.14)
DFI Infinity 975X (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (£96.34)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775) (£16.44)
Western Digital Raptor X 150GB WD1500AHFD 10,000RPM SATA 16MB Cache - OEM
(£164.49)
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) (£158.61)
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional 7.1 Soundcard - Retail (£89.29)

£798.31

Shipping : £10.95
Vat : £141.62
Total : £950.88

This setup has 2Gb ram + the better psu. The new 8800gts 320 (BFG OC Version) clocks almost the same as the 8800gts 640, but alot cheaper!!!
You can improve on this system by replacing mobo for 680 chipset and stronger psu ?

Just my thoughts Wink
