1GB or 2GB

[sandeep108]

I mostly play games occasionally and mostly otherwise IE/FF, e-mail, Word, etc. Not much of video or photography. I have 512x2 currently and two slots are free. Should I upgrade or not?

2gb >>> 1gb for just about everything, especially todays games like BF2

howevr depending on your sys running 4x512 might actually slow the memory down

most if not all a64s will dun at DDR 333 and not DDR 400 when all 4 dims are filled

There's always overclocking it and lowering the multi, or different ram divider.

As I said in another post, I am somewhat new to AMD/nForce and had generally used stock Intel for quite some time (and as we all know that did not allow for anything). Some links for reading would be appreciated.

I tried the built in 5% bios overclock but that really did not feel much different. It may have made a difference in benchies, but again I have never done that either.
