    a better thing to do might be to buy this
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133137
    along with a stick of this
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820141164


    i own a stick of that ram and it is very stable ram and a very good purchase for that price. and ill soon be upgrading to that video card from my geforce mx440.



    or you could buy this gfx card
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130202

    and buy the stick of ram later when u have $50 more to spend.

    why?

    (s)he hasnt told us yet what the main use of the comp is for.........

    512 MiB is more than enough for normal use........ most games will run on that....... cept maybe the newest, but that comp is a lil 2 slow for that anyway........
    great FTP site for awesome quality video clips
    yeah, you have to sign up, but its worth it
