Unfortunately my PC build hasn’t happened yet.
However I decided on the following ram:

I would fill all slots if possible as you should get better performance that way but I think you must fill one slot from each channel which means at least 4 slots.

It’s hard to go wrong with Crucial memory. You may be able to get it at a lower price by using an reputable independent online vendor (I saved a bit by buying at NewEgg) and ordering the part number you choose from Crucial’s configurator. For my box, I used two matched pairs of Crucial’s Ballistix DDR2 RAM. The Ballistix line is the company’s lowest-latency, highest-speed RAM (i.e., the sticks that test the best, with an integral heat spreader. They cost more, but even the best RAM is pretty cheap. If you use the Crucial configurator, the Ballistix line has a yellow jacket and a part number that begins with BL. It’s oriented toward high-performance gamers, but is equally helpful to Photoshoppers and video editors.

Do be aware that no current Adobe product is tested and certified to run on either Xp64bit or Vista64bit – so you may or may not get the software to run, but you won’t get support from Adobe (and a wide variety of degrees of help when visiting the user to user forums

Over in the Premiere Pro forum there is some discussion of the next CS4 version with, I think (didn’t pay much attention) a posting with a link to an Adobe employee’s blog where he talks "some" about future plans for a 64bit version… for Vista64 only, since Xp64 is a dead end

If this were me (not, I don’t have any extra $$ right now) I’d go ahead and buy the hardware I need… but keep running a 32bit OS until Adobe catches up with 64bit development

Do Adobe Creative Suite 3 applications run on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista?
While Adobe Creative Suite 3 software is natively 32 bit, these applications will run on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista. For an in-depth overview of 64-bit computing and its value, see this blog from Scott Byer, Adobe Photoshop software architect.
