I've decided to UPGRADE my computer slowly until I get it to where I want it to be.

I'm starting with the ram. Currently I have 1024mb of ram. Two sticks of 512 PC3200. I plan on upgrading to 2GB. Now my question is, should I keep it at PC3200 across the board for uniformity? Or would I be better off getting FASTER RAM for the upgrade? Also, should I got straight for one 1GB stick, or should I get two more 512s for total of 512 512 512 512.

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks folks.

AirekTravel to Crucial's site and enter your MBoard info to SEE if the higher speed is supported...if it isn't you will be spending more than you have to as a higher speed will default to the speed the board supports...
The second consideration would be matched pairs which can run faster. Keeping this in mind i would go with a matched set of 1G sticks for the best performance.

Cheap RAM is not worth it but you don't neccessarily have to break the bank. Shop around for price but buy a quality brand name.

p.s If it's a good enough deal i might GRAB your 2 512's....i'm rebuilding a machine for my brother.
