Why the hell would you want more than 512MB of RAM?
There is no added advantage to having more RAM than 512MB even with gaming. Today's applications do not need that much memory. Even 1 GB is a waste of money.
The best performing memory is Crucial Ballistix. You should get two 256 MB sticks of that and run it in dual channel. You should also consider something like PC4400 instead of standard PC3200 if you're overclocking. The added speed which is utliized through overclocking will serve you better than to get a lot of memory, quantity isn't always better!
It is like saying, a Geforce 6800 128 MB will perform worse than a GeForce FX5950 256 MB. The 6800 will whoop the FX5950 even with its extra RAM becaues the 6800s ram is running at a higher frequency.
Case closed: no added advantage to memory past 512MB. If you wanna through your money away then go ahead.
