I currently have 1gb of pqi turbo mem running stable at 2-3-3-6 at 420mhz however from my old system i have a gig of pc2100 mem probably at cas 3. Should i add this to my current rig which would perform better 2gigs of pc2100 or 1gig of pc3200?

Which platform? It would probably be best if you leave it at 1 gig.

Check your Task Manager, and watch how much RAM your applications actually use. If you're not coming close to what's already in there, don't bother.

Unless you are using highly memory intensive programs (video editing, BF2, EQ2, etc.) then you are better off staying with 1GB.
