I am about to upgrade my PC to a Core 2 Duo. I'm wondering if I will see better preformance out of 4gb of the slower 800mhz DDR2 or 2gb of 1ghz DDR2 that matchs the CPU clock speed?

4GB of RAM is not really required at the moment. Get 2GB of DDR2 RAM at 1Ghz.

LOL no get the 4 gigs of slower ram, when it comes to ram more is better than speed, but you will need a 64 bit os to actually see all the 4 gigs of ram, you will only see 2.75 gigs, windows will lock it at that. Unless you have a 64 bit version. I would go with teh 4 gigs, DDR2 800 is the best, no reason to get fast ram that will be useless.
