well i see where you're going but, alot of the times, computer parts are very... iffy in that department. there are things that are plain not worth it, things that are 'the best bang for your buck', and things that are top notch highest quality items. 500 dollar RAM truly is not nessecary. regardless of it's impressive timings for ddr2 ram, it just seems wasteful to me since right now all you'll be seeing is benchmark changes since 2 gigs of value ram can tackle the most demanding games available right now.
