2. yes. 3. none. Sell the 2Gb, buy 4 Gb. Or keep the 2 Gb as a back-up. That's it.

Im just going to sell all my extra parts right now and save up for a Nehalm upgrade and new the x58, ddr3 memory and the Nehalm.. Does that sound smarter?

No because Nehalem will be as crazy as hell when it's released. Wait at least like a year or so for the prices to drop to make the upgrade/new computer worthwhile. That's my opinion though.

buy 4gb of Mushkin Ascents or Redline and sell your Corsair or use it for a backup system. Going from 2GB to 2GB will yield at most a possible better overclock if you're even doing that. Might as well get something bigger and badder (and more useful) - Cheers!

i would also consider the G.Skill ram kits as they are awesome for the price to performance ratio.
