E6600,8800gts 640mb, 2gb of ram. WouldI see a big difference with the extra gig or should I save money for a different upgrade?

for XP, you wont really notice adifference espcially if you were thinking that this extr ram will get you more frames while gaming because in this case you are wrong. You dont need 3gig of ram except if you are playing RSP games such as Supreme commander most of your time.
For VISTA, you really have to go with it imho.
