Looking For Ideas To Optimize My Rig

I just changed OS'es from Vista Home Basic 32 to Win 7 64 Bit

I have currently as Hardware

Mobo:  Abit KN9 SLI

CPU:    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3.00 ghz

RAM:    4 Gig (2x2gb) Crucial PC2-8500 DDR2

HDD:    Seagate SATA/300 Baracuda 3.5 IHD with 320 GB and 16 MB Cache (Single HD not raid setup) 

GCARD: Dual Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512 in an SLI Configuration

SCARD: Soundblaster  X-Fi Gamer

 

Software wise I have only installed

Win 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

Lastest Drivers for my G and S cards

SC2 Beta

Impulse and E:WoM

 

So my question is what can I do to increase performance and power, preferably on the software and settings end to increase my rigs power? Though Hardware Upgrades for future consideration wouldn't be unappreciated either.

I'm not that tech smart but one thing you can do since you are running 64 bit is increase the ram if you can. 

What do you use the computer for, what kind of things do you do, games, data manipulation, number crunching? 

It might make a difference.
