Processor vs. RAM in the Speed Contest?

I have a question about improving the speed of a computer via RAM or Processor. Which would give me more speed overall, i.e. gaming, multitasking, multimedia, mostly gaming: 3.33GHz intel core2 duo and 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB, OR 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x2GB. (Note: I can't have both the faster processor and 8GB of RAM, also, both will be with ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB if that matters) Basically I am just wondering which will increase my overall performance the most, faster processor and less RAM, or more RAM and a slower processor. Thanks!!!
