Ok, i'm looking to get a 512 ram card, but I was thinking, since my computer has 2 slots, would it be overkill to get two and use them both? My computer goes as follows....
80 + 40 gb hard drivers
2.13 gh processer
Windows XP
Radeon 9000pro 128mb video card
intergrated soundcard
48x burner + dvd player
So should I use two 512's, or will that cause problems? (my alternative would be to go with a 128 and a 512)
Thanks!
1 gig of ram on windows xp is great
only older versions of windows had problems with too much ram

I believe you also have to make sure if your motherboard can support it to go that high

Most boards can support that and more. I also have 1 gig with XP. Works great.
the vast majority of boards which support agp and 2+ GHz cpu's will have support for more than 1GB of ramOriginally posted by wolfman10_2000@18 October 2003 - 18:45

Thats strange because i had a 512mb stick and a 256mb stick and i thought it was running pretty fast with 768mb of ram. I got another pc so i took the 256mb stick out for the other pc and my pc ran faster with 512 mb and im using windows XPonly older versions of windows had problems with too much ram
that's quite strange...Originally posted by neattairoski@19 October 2003 - 00:21

i was talking about mainly 98 not liking more than 512MB of ram (unless you got a patch (which didn't solve totally the problem))

Yeah it was same speed but i dont know if it was same brand. I would really like atleast 1gb of ram. My motherboard can take 1.5gb so i know it can handle it.
Im gonna try some other brands.
