Nah just joking it would not be worth it yet.

I know you didn't mean it for real, 1GB + 512 will fit me nicely, thanks Win98.

P.S. You mean to tell me that a 1GBRAM chip and 256mbRAM chip combination would work less effective than two 512's??? :blink: No way is this right, man... :eeeeeh:

i mean that two same 512 in DUAL DDR will work much faster then 1 1024, idk about "exact" speed but i think it will equal 1gb+256

#2 P.S. So I should just find the same brand RAM of 1024mb and then I'd only have to replace one chip? Is that what you meant? :blink:

i mean that you should buy next(same as 1st) 512 ram if yuo have dual ddr slot on your mainboard

Oh, I know that DUALs work better, but you suggest to put another 512 and it will only make 1024 by all the 3 chips. I'll take my chances and see how well 1024+256x2 DUALs work together. This could just make the Duals run all the way and then really FIRE it up when the 1024 is needed, making a beast out of the machine.

The mainboard has 3 slots, now functioning the 2 of 3 with DUALs 256 (brand "PQI" - very cheap crud), so a new "Apacer 1024mb" or "Geil 1024" for about 110 bucks will really make a difference in this struggle for decent game frames (maybe 30-35).

but you ahve wrote that you own 512 ram already :blink: so you want to buy 2x256 and 1 gb?orrr

I must've confused you:

I have 512, but it's a DUAL (256x2) in two sticks. I think that clears things up, don't you think? :D
Now, I will buy a 1024Ram stick. I will combine the power of my "PQI" brand duals with a new "Apacer" or "Geil" brand 1024Ram stick. Which do you think is better? The "Apacer" or "Geil"? "Geil" is like 5-10 bucks more, but seems to be more trusted. What do you think? :blink:

apacers are realy good and respected by many users , i have never heard of Geil o_O and its strange for me that it is 5-10 bucks more

if i were you i would buy apacer

Well, price IS an issue - OK, Apacer it is. :ok:
