what i'm saying is dont buy the ram yet try some from ya mates cos when i used to have me pc repair shop we often built pc's with more than 1gb ram only to find it made it run slower! so all im sayin is check from some elses machine before you buy! | |

old versions of windows, like 9x and me won't run with more than 512 very well. xp home only supports trun 1gb. xp pro supports upto 2gb, as does win2k pro. | |

its aid that if you put more than 1 gB of ddr ram into your pc whilst running windows i can slow down the performance! | |

regular use in xp there won't be too much of a difference, to be honest there is little or no difference running 512 and 1gb for things like everyday use. | |

thats because windows takes a certain percentage of your memory when it starts up just in case it needs it :lol: (go microsoft!!) | |

Yes 512 on top of 1gb will help a a lot, esp if running XP. Very resource hungry, i have switched most of the XP services off. waste of my time really. | |

1.5gb of ram should be enough! Sell your processor on ebay, use the money saved from getting 512 more instead of 1gb, and get a faster processor too :D | |

If you already have 1 gig i would say another 512 will make a difference aye. Can always get more at a later date if you need it. More memory is always better. | |
