    DP965LT/E6600/Crucial 2GB (2@1GB)DDR2-800 OK

    Directly from Crucial www.crucial.com Paid 376.63 with 2-day delivery. Other than the CPU I cannot think of a more important component. I did not want to have any problem with the CPu or memory so the expense was more than justified. System has been running fine.
