Cyprio;
I am in the same boat as you.
My second pair of OCZ VX DDR memory should be here tomorrow and my Sandy 4000+ will be in my hot little hands by the end of the week if the planets are all in sync. One big reason for the upgrade is for BF2. BF1942 needed a Gig of ram to make it run smooth, as least for me. BF2 might need 2GB to make it smooth like butter, but the extra ram can't hurt. Windows always seem to be memory hungry.
Currently I run my VX @ 2-2-2-5 1T 220fsb, so adding two more sticks will drop it to 2T for sure.
Curious as to the preformance hit people talk about I forced my mobo to run 2t and ran some benches. SiSoftware memory tests took the biggest hits running 2T. Games on the other hand resulted in little or no preformance hit, less than 3% drop in frame rates. Since my PC is for gaming, I went ahead and grab two more 512MB sticks vs the 2x1GB stick simply for the cost savings. I made the assumption that it would be no worst running (2x512@2T) vs (4x512@2T). I might be wrong, will have to wait and see.
I will let you know how I make out if everything comes in by the end of the week.
