Should I get more RAM for gaming?

Yeah, now that I think about it, if your original intention was just to improve gaming... a new video card would do it.... But if your looking for overall performance, including gaming, I would upgrade the cpu/ram. Hell. Just get a new computer.

LOL, ok guys, thanks for the help. It seems like most people are saying that XP loves the memory, so I think I may get like 256 more, maybe 512 more if I have the extra money. My computer runs almost every single game flawlessly now, even Unreal 2 at 1280x1024. But more RAM for right now should help out my overall system performance. And then around Christmas time or so the next generation video cards should be out and I will pick up one of those. Anybody got any ideas on what the next big vid card will be?
