I have a Gateway 7410GX notebook with 512MB Corsair XMS 3200LL memory. I'm thinking of another chip of the same allowing me to keep my timings, CAS and maybe dual channel if this thing supports it (don't think it does though). But the problem is that ecost is the only place I can find it and it's $117!! I could buy the 1GB Corsair VS 3200 chip for $30 less but this will revert the system to CAS 3 and bump up timings a little.
The intensive things I want to do with this laptop is play WOW which plays well right now but I will always have the 64MB video bottleneck and video editing. I'm going to get a 7200rpm Hitachi drive and XP Pro x64 and when the M2 cpus come out, I will turn the laptop into a HTPC with a decent tuner card. So I basically need to get another year out of this thing if possible.
Any suggestions here? Thanks for the help!
