398902 2005-10-24 06:57:00 I currently run two 128mb cards of ram, each run at 233mhz.

My motherboard only has 2 ram slots.

Im thinking its about time to upgrade to a 512 card, which will run at 400mhz.

I could keep one of my 128 cards, however then the 512 card would have to run at 233mhz (from my understanding).

Should i go for the extra memory or the faster memory?

I'm running XP Pro.

398903 2005-10-24 07:01:00 Does the mobo support up to 400 mhz?

If it doesn't, there's no point in getting 400 mhz ram.

398905 2005-10-24 07:15:00 I would go for the 512 either by itself or get 2 512 mb simms.

Well it'll be better than the 2 128mb simms , for XP.

Looking at your board thats an understatement.
1 x 512, go for the faster

398908 2005-10-25 01:37:00 i think 2x512 is better, my comment is never mix 128 and 512 together. dds (7234)
