If its Xp or below, most users really dont need 2G of RAM, unless you have a specific requirement for that extra RAM.
XP can even run (slightly) slower with 2G in some cases.

XP Home SP3. 768s worth of ram at the moment. I was hoping to improve on this. PJ

851815 2010-01-27 06:24:00 If you are using onboard video that will be using some of the 768 as well. Sweep (90)

This is Maryanns comp. Heavily into digital photography. So would like to beef it up a bit. PJ

851817 2010-01-27 07:33:00 If you can't get any more suitable DDR ram the the best thing would be put the 2Gig in your machine and use 1Gig plus 512 Meg in Maryann's machine.

You won't really notice the lack of dual channel in yours.

Sweep...I have got the 2GB DDR2 in my comp & noticed the difference immediately.

The 1GB DDR2 stick is in the 2GB case, spare till I put that in my comp as well. Maryanns comp is DDR/DDR1 The 1GB stick wont fit. I am told. PJ
