I'm using DDR500 so my next upgrade will be a bit more expensive. However, I can run all of my favorite games (Supreme Commander, STALKER, Titan Quest) just fine so I'm holding off until I have a hard release date for Crysis. THEN I'm going to piss off the wife.
From what I have seen memory isn't much of a bottle neck for memory and you get as much performance out of a lower cas memory then the next level up. I believe it was 60% utilization of memory for core 2 an a boost a +/- 3 fps in all but the most extreem over clocks. if 3 fps is a huge thing for $300. I'd say hold on to the mem till you real need new memory. plus a cas 3 can beat a cas 5 of the next better bandwidth as in I've seen 667 beat 800.

400 to 1000 memory http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/...-table_sml.jpg

If you are over clocking you can get capped by memory.

Lol i seen an ddr2 533 beats an ddr2 800 :O is just because the cas latency the ddr2 533 was @ cl 2 and the ddr2 800 was @ cl6 or 8 i dont remember!

No! Intel's CD CPUs ar e better across all apps-including games.

Just get a 8800 and you'll get better performance

So not you who's been waiting over six months for the fabled, nay mythical R600 which will blow everything ever away - c'mon
