    RAM: 2x1GB vs 4x512MB (both dual channel)

    Building a new comp and wondering which ram configuration would provide better performance. Since this is going to be more or less a budget system, I probably won't have need to expand to a full 4GB in the future.

    dog vs the intarnet

    That looks to be about what I did, except that I took the gigabyte to be 10^9 bytes (so 21GB*8 = 168Gb@18kph). That should account for the variation. I'm glad to see I was doing it right, my friend got something like 17000km or so...

    Celeron vs. Celeron D

    I've been considering replacing my Celeron 2.4 to give my machine a bit of a power boost. Is there enough of a difference between the Celeron and the Celeron D to warrant the $60 or so I'd spend on the upgrade? Or should I shell out the $200+ for a P4?
