Ok, which set up will be better:
Scenario 1- What i have-
CPU running around 3.08 GHZ
1 GB of Geil DDR3200 (400mhz stock) running at @ 440 mhz and loose timings ( 2.5-3-3-8 i think) in Dual Channel
Scenario 2- Will cost me around 40 bucks
CPU OC'd fully from its 2.8c stock setting to somewhere around 3.5 ghz...maybe less depending on temps
512 MB of Corsair XMS3500 (433mhz stock) running as high as possible with loose timings to reach high CPU OC in Dual Channel
Scenario 3- 40 bucks again
Same setup, except less OC'ing and tighter timings
Basically i want to know if you think trading the 1 GB for 512 MB and more OC/better timings will be worth the price. I'm basically hoping to use this computer for intensive gaming, plus my daily web browsing, email, schoolwork, media and such for the next 3+ years.
