I've got 2x256, 1 512mb I just recieved today, all DDR266. Will install the 512mb when I get home. I'm hoping battlefield DC .03 will fly with 1GB now :). BTW what other games/apps should I try out to take advantage of having 1gb of ram? I have a Radeon 9700 video card and a athlonxp 1.86ghz cpu.

NIce.

<--Jealous still on SDRam....but not gonna upgrade yet for a while. Made the mistake of getting a Rambus P4 for the wife's machine and am gonna wait a while until I upgrade to DDR.

Try out the DOOM 3 alpha......I've read it can make even fast systems crawl. :)

Hmm... I don't think your games are going to care about that much memory
but try stuff like photoshop or any Video editing thats where you will see
a change...
