Ok in my eyes the 640mb of ram *doubles* the speed of the card (im not too tech savvy obviously) can anyone shed some light on HOW much faster the 640mb is over the 320 is it marginal or huge?

My birthday is coming up and I am looking to basically build a whole new computer with a few parts from my old computer thrown in. I am gonna get a new processor/ PSU/ graphics card/ motherboard/case. I did a little shopping around on newegg.com and this is what I came up with. Now just so you know, I am not the most tech savvy person out there, so any advice would be great. Now I might be able to stretch my budget a little if need be. I keep hearing comparisons on different brand names and different versions of a product (example 640mb gts vs 320mb gts, 650i mobo vs 680i), if there is a version that is superior to the one below please let me know.

Also I will be looking into overclocking some components.....when I know exactly what to do that is. I am a gamer at heart so I will be playing the latest and greatest games on this computer.

Last but not least. I tried to build  a computer last year and it didnt turn out so good due to my lack of research. So this time around I would like to get it right. Do any of you tech experts see anything that would cause compatibility issues or anything that would be  a problem?

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400

Power Supply: OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply

Ok, right now I am using my original 80gig harddrive i got when my computer was made and I recently added aa 250gig harddrive in for storage and whatnot. I have NEVER taken the original 80gb HD out and I am just wondering if I could replace it with another 250gb HD that i have laying around.

My computer only has 2 harddrive slots inside so I cant just add another harddrive i wanna get rid of the 80gig one but would that mean I need to reinstall windows and wipe both my drives clean or something? BTW both my 250gb HDs are SATA if that helps at all.

When does this come out? I read on some sites it doubles the speed of normal pci-e slots and am very curious when I can get my hands on something like this since I am gonna be building a new computer within the next few months.

I have been loving BF2142 but am a little concerned about lag....mind you this is not computer lag because I have been playing my brothers computer (XPS 700 c2d 2.4ghz 2gigs ram 7900gtx) and I have tried everything from turning the resolution to 800-600 to turning everything to minimum but still there is lag. When there are many poeple around I know there is gonna be lag no matter what, but to this degree? I was just wondering if they have adressed this issue with any patches or will they be doing anything for this in the new booster pack? thanks
