Mornin folks, or afternoon/evenin depending where you are.
I am looking for a bit of guidence please, I have manaed to get a hold of some Corsair 1GB DDR XMS4000PT TwinX (2x512MB) Platinum ram and I am wondering whether I should install it into my current mobo or wait. I know it might be a daft question but my mobo doesnt support dual ddr (as far as I know) and currently has 2 sticks of 256 PC2100 ram in it, I am hoping to get a better mobo and wondered if I would reap the benefits of my new ram installed in my current board, or should I wait until I have a new board. I have decidednot to install it using the tried and tested method of securing it with string so there may be some hope for me yet (c the post re. the radeon 9800 card)
Thanks

p.s. these are my current mobo specs
