Windows 7 64bit uses 2 gigs of ram all the time (reserved for the system), so thats already 2. That leaves a further 2 gigs for games / whatever else you are running and that is no way near enough. On 32bit xp it would be ok but not on win7/vista.
I have 12gb in, I have got the comp to 50% ram use while playing Metro 2033. So thats 6gb of ram in active use, ram is Patriot tri channel 4gb stick ram, OC to a current 1600mhz.
DDR3 ram is better because of the speed, but also the wider bandwidth makes a huge differance.

Win7 x64u as I'm typing
Are you telling me the standby ram is unavailable?
Where are those 2GB?
DDR3:
That's what I said.
But even though it's twice as fast, here are some numbers:

GB RAM vs fps:
I remember reading a review last year where they benchmarked several games with different amounts of ram, they
didn't get any increase in fps when over 4GB.

However this may change with newer games, if you have any prove, feel free to post them here. Such stuff is always interesting.
