    Memory and Graphics upgrade

    Upgrade time seems to be once again upon me.

    But im having issues what is my best option.

    Option 1: Get an extra gig of memory plus once R600 is here, either one of them of an 8800GTX

    Now will I come across any bottle necks with only having DDR memory and a 4400X2.

    Option 2: is that I push the boat out and get the whole lot with a C2D 6600. Which really I cant afford, and theres nothing really wrong with my current set up for me?

    Cheers in advance for any posts

    memory isn't that much of a bottleneck in speed sense but size wise it could be, as for the cpu, it will only bottleneck you in the newer games where the cpu does the physics processing too.
