I'd go with 1.5 because...well...I did before. BF2 will benefit more from that extra 512 then the 2-3% performance boost from dual channel mode IMO.

I agree with Kyle. I have 1.5 gigs and we're at a point right now where many games are approaching or exceeding 1gb of usage. That extra 512 really helps out believe me. He's right that Battlefield 2 is really night and day with that extra 512.
