Well... two years ago I made the mistake of getting the corsair XMS DDR500 PRO Ram that has those LED lights. Well I love the ram, so it has been a good choice. Anyway, I just got a 7800GS to revive my system till I build a whole new one when vista / dx10 settles in. So... Here is what I think my options are, and yall tell me what you think! THANKS!
A) I could get the corsair XMS DDR500 on Newegg, comes in a 2gb (1gbx2) pack, putting my system at 3GB. $200

B) I could get 1gb (2x512mb) crucial ballistix to put my system at 2gb, but its CAS timings and voltage seem to differ from my old sticks. $100

C) I could bite the bullet and get the same exact ram, $250 at most places. 2gb Total ram with this option.

I know B is not a good idea, Im curious what the different memories sizes will do? Of course C is the best bet... but most costly.
I guess i dont want to spend an extra $100 when I could possibly get 3gb instead of 2gb. Well just let me know whats up. Thanks!
Here is system spec...
2.8 P4C @ 3.3ish, usually have the bus at 240 (just cant hit 250, that was my goal
maybe someone can help me with that
)
P4c800-E DLX
1gb Corsair XMS DDR 500 PRO (slightly underclocked)![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
XFX Geforce 7800GS @ 480 core and 1360 memory i think... lovin this card
etc etc etc
