I've decided to build a new computer this summer. I haven't decided much other than that I want one of the dual-core intel processors and at least an 8800GTS video card (possibly something better depending how much prices go down between now and this summer), and that I'll be using Vista. Anyways, I've decided on 2 gigs of ram. I have one stick of this in my computer now:

I'm considering pulling it out to use with my new compter (when I build it), in addition to buying one more stick. Originally I was going to buy 2 gigs of faster RAM, but most 2gb sets on newegg cost around $200, so I can save about $130 this way.
My question is, how much of a difference would some faster RAM (for example, some PC2 6400) make? I don't want to spend a bunch of money on a processor and video card only to find out that my RAM is holding my computer back. Would the RAM linked above work well in a heavy gaming computer?
