    Another gig worth the cash?

    Pretty simple question. I got 1gb of ram right now, would another 1gb/512mb be worth the money? As would it decrease map load times and make the game smoother?

    YES

    I upgraded from 1 to 2 gigz and boom I load in 20 seconds, first on the map unless I minimize.

    Get it

      Absolutely yes if the rest of your system is even half decent.

        p4 3ghz and 6600gt
        Would 1/2 gig be a good enough improvement? I have one slot left and a whole gig would cost about $85 where the 1/2 gig would cost about $35/40.

          Go for the gig. No point in upgrading the slot AGAIN later...that 1/2 gig would be wasted if you upgraded at a later date.

          RAM is a decent price now.

          But that's just me I don't know what your financial situation is like.

                FYI that is 2x256, not 2x512. So you'd have 512 total not 1GB total. The Ballistix memory is nice, but I would have opted for some Corsair Value 1GB sticks.
