Upgrading
HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200gb IDE 8mb cache to
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822145087 RAM: Generic RAM 1gb 2.5-3-3-7 DDR-400 to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227210 What do you guys think of this RAM? I want the 2 gigs but I don't want to go much over $200. PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103931 PSU specs seem good. Anyone have any personal opinions? Also I am overclocking a bit.

Above 1 GB won't do much, as AMD64 said, so look for a really really nice set of RAM, and it will help a lot to get something faster like PC4000 RAM when overclocking.

However didn't Archangel say that FEAR takes up to 1300mb of memory when playing? Also isn't battlefield 2 supposedly smoother when you have 2 gigs?

CAS 2 and timing of 2-2-2 is best for gaming. (check RAM 101 if you dont believe me) liquid id rather go with the 1gb and if you feel you really need 2gb buy another 1gb. but id doubt you will. Also the 1gb is an EL platinum which is good for overclocking

Yea, the El Platinum is guaranteed a DDR-600 overclock. But however, the thing that troubles me most is whether or not 2gb of RAM will give better performance in F.E.A.R because thats what I've seen said on other forums.
Also the 2gb OCZ I mentioned has timings of 2-3-2-6 which are not bad. That is at factory voltages of course. I could up the voltages.
