Rather more memory, then faster memory.

If you dont have enough ram, it will swap to harddisc, which is VERY VERY VERY Slow comparred to the ram.

I'm with Chad on this one, definitely go for the 2Gb. On toms recently they did some tests and heavily overclocked ram made almost no difference.

yep More for sure :) I just put in 2G Corsair 3500LL Pro 434 in last week, and all I can say is Awsome :P Smoothed my games out no end, esp BF2. Having more is like a 100% improvement where as getting faster will only improve it about 5% (thats not the actual percentages just an example). Also speed doesn't really help if your front bus,clock or MotherBoard isn't up to it, well something like that from what I could understand from all the tech speak I read. Also i went for Corsair becuse for a 2G set it had one of the lowest latency, so they are still very fast :P

More RAM FTW! You prolly wouldn't notice the difference with the same amount of fast RAM anyway...
