Do I need more Ram????

[Kerouactivist]

With ram prices finally coming down to a reasonable level, I have considered buying more ram
I currently have
a
1.333 athlon
8k7a+
60 gig deskstar
256 ram
ATI radeon 64

I play games alot and I run Windows XP (which apparently eats up RAM).

The 8k7a+ only has two slots, one of them is filled with a 256 stick

How big of a performance increase will I see with buying more RAM
If so should I buy another 256 stick or 512 stick?

What do u think????

sell the 256mb and get 2 x 512mb

512...cause you can never have too much ram.

I would have at least 512mb RAM for a gaming rig nowadays.

How big of a difference would I see?

btw I can't afford a 2x512

just add 128, probably never use more than that

Never say never Some day i think we'll eventually be using those gigs of RAM and putting it to use, not just a number to oogle at....
