Re: How much difference in games would 1gb of ram in dual mode make compared to 512?

I can upgrade the Ram next month but I'm thinking that 512mb will cripple my rig.

an extra 512mb will prevent a lot of disk swappage for memory hungry applications but running it in dual mode will not have any noticeable performance increase, you can always overclock the 3200+ anyway so I'd probably go for that.
