This one ill get in my new rig, im planning to run everything on high, with 6x aa, 1280×1024.

Ill maybe go for this later:

what performance gain would I get in bf2?

[ps my dfi infinity mobo only supports 667 mhz ram I thought]

Performance gain over what?  Having 2GB of RAM is enough for BF2, so any possible differences in performance would be in the latencies, but even then BF2 is more GPU limited than CPU/RAM speed limited, so I don't see the latencies making any major difference in overall performance.

I thought I saw somewhere that everything but the amount of ram, like latencies and stuff

Affects FPS

Not in most modern games.  Unless he is running low resolutions with no eye candy stuff off, making the CPU the bottleneck, then the GPU is the limitation.  In a situation where the GPU is the bottleneck, and usually is at the settings most people use to actually play the game, the CPU is waiting on the GPU to send more information.

Yes latencies can make a difference where the GPU is not a factor, but even then it is usually not a massive difference.  Any time you see latencies make really big differences is when you are using synthetic benchmarks designed to test the memory sub-system.

The easy answer is slightly faster load times. Maybe you won't have to wait in line for that J-10.
Agent_Dung_Bomb is right on the money though. Just remember we are not just talking clock speeds with GPU's. Obviously GPU memory type and size has much to do with the speed of rendering.

I also heard that overclocking effects RAM, or at least has something to do with it..

Im actually planning to clock my e6600, to x6800 speeds, would that be possible with the kingston ram?

And im planning to clock my x1900xt to xtx speeds ;d

It most certainly does. You need to pay attention to the timings. I would check with cyborg_ninja-117 I believe he has experience in it already . I have yet to recieve my 6800 . Also I have overclocked my x1900xtx ,be extremely careful and monitor the temp it will jump very fast on you.

Should work with both ram. I would go for the DDR2-667 because it's at least an official DDR2 speed and the timings are better.

With my old memory (MDT DDR2-667 CL4 timings) it wasn't a problem to clock my E6600 to 3GHz.
