| 371018 | 2005-07-10 08:28:00 | Doubt you will see much signficance performance going from DDR333 to DDR400 RAM. Why not just get another 512MB of DDR333 to give yourself 1024MB of RAM. Are you upgrading for gaming? |

| 371021 | 2005-07-10 09:20:00 | by the way, 333 and 400 ram have same price so it doesn't matter unless ur thinking of duel channel but im not buying the same brand of ram so i duno. should the new chip go in the 1st ram slot or 2nd......winxp takes up about 200mb or so. games go over the 1st chip |

| 371022 | 2005-07-10 09:28:00 | Ah ok, thought you were replacing the original RAM. :) BTW, under your post there is an Edit button which allows you for 15 mins after you post to go back and make last minute additional comments or fix formatting etc. Quite handy. :) |

| 371023 | 2005-07-10 09:35:00 | you will see a big improvment with the performance of your new graphics card. save yourself 20 bucks and install your upgrade yourself, its dead simple :p other than that it doesnt seem to bad of an upgrade. | Prescott (11) | ||
