More Ram???

[HAMMERHEAD~*DS*~]

I have an Intel 915PBL MB with a 3.4Ghz P4 and 1GB of DDR 2. I also have an Nvidia 6800GT 256Mb. Would adding another GB of RAM be of any use?

not now, and not unless your doing video editing. Man DRR2 is already more then enough... for gamers, 1 g of DDR is basically enough all the time, but if you have DDR2 , thats even more then enough..

But then again, if you feel the need to spend some money, i say YES! buy the 2 more sticks of DDR2 and send them to me!

.....aren't i just a jew lmao.

Actually, I have just one 1GB stick, so I am actually only running single channel. I think I will buy one more stick of 1GB and get it to run true dual channel.

Last review I read for BF2 says upping to 2GB of ram helped level/map data loading times aswell overall performace. I should be set. BTW, it's normal to have to up your mem timings when you add more ram, with regards to stability.

so your saying i should buy another two more of these to GEIL sticks in or to equal 2 gb??

THats the ram i have, i cant belieave is 50 bucks right now, i bought it for like 120 EACH back in the day!

Is this a good stick still though? I have 1 g already. SHould i just buy 4 new sticks DDR2 or stick with my DRR 3200 instead of like DDR 3500.

What do you guys think? I think if i buy 2 more, and make it dual ram, it will be just as fast as 2 sticks of 3500 or DRR2.

Yeah, get your rig up to 2gig. I'd say just buy two more sticks of 512. By the time your going to need to worry about the fact you have filled all your mem slots because you think you need more mem, you'll probably need to upgrade your entire machine anyways.

p4 3.0
1 gb of ram
5900 ultra 256
Serial ATAT 10,000

I think i have a decent asus board aswell. Me and SHAWDOW have the same board. It has 2 more slots left for dual memorie. I think i am all about that next

POLY do you still have the same system as i do?

what happened to your 5900 ultra?

[Shadowkilla~*DS*~]

yeh we have a similar PC dude, i havent bought any upgrades for mine for ages... i might for the winter though, im working like shit and making shit loads of money this summer

[POLYD3XT3ROUS[PK]]

My vaccum cleaner,,, um I mean the 5900 ultra was traded to a co-worker for what I can't remember.

I don't think I can go six months with out a new video card. Looks like the next card change means I have to upgrade the whole machine. Damn...

[HAMMERHEAD~*DS*~]

Another 1GB stick of Ultra PC4200 DDR2 on the way!
