But I don't know the first thing about this weard configuration. I've only put in 1 heatsink and thats the one for this computer. I have never removed one, NORE do I know if my computer is compatible:

Is this worth the upgrade? I have only $220.00 for parts and the New stick of

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145480
Ram

On Newegg's website, there are two kinds of ram very similar to this.

This http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145479
And this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145026

Which is the right one? (I think it's the first one but I could be wrong).

So, is this computer worth upgrading? How about these parts I want? Are they compatible? Any other suggestions perhaps to do with my budget that would be more beneficiary? Thanks all! 😀
 
you'll probably have to run your memory at ddr2700 with 3 sticks, though i don't remember....wait a sec...i can try and find out...


it actually runs at ddr2100...my would boot set at ddr2700 and immediately crash, it defaulted to ddr1600 though. i don't think its worth going to 1.5 gigs.
