Shug7272 Posted April 20, 2007 CID Share Posted April 20, 2007 Actually I am already at 1GB. I was just wondering if it was necessary for me to go all the way up to 3(the RAM Voltage posted would have put me that high). My goal was 2GB. I do decode DVD's every once in a while and browse the web while doing it. I multi-task...A lot. That is why I went with the Dual Core . Would have got a Core 2 Duo, but they weren't out yet when I bought the comp. TY for all the help!!! Now I wont make the same mistakes Shug did. Edit: TY Voltage. I will go find me a 512 pair right quick. I am sorry I misunderstood. I missed that we were talking about Vista. The others are right, with Vista yes it will make a difference.

Probably go with the 1GB pair to bring it up to 3GB. No it couldn't have been modeled after you...I said it was sexy. That rules you out lol.

Shug7272 Posted April 20, 2007 CID Share Posted April 20, 2007 Good choice, I think you will like it. I took one of my laptops from 512 to 1.5 (roughly) gigs of DDR and loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MttFrog13 Posted April 25, 2007 CID Share Posted April 25, 2007 All this memory talk got me thinkin, i just bought a laptop with a really fast core 2 duo and 1 GB of RAM that is pc-5300 667. Do you think 1gb is really neccessary. On the other hand i guess it depends on how i use my laptop. i will do gaming, huge downloads, video converting, web browsing, word processing, and some photo editing. If they gave me 2x512mb i will wait to upgrade to 2x1gb but if they gave me 1x1gb i will definitely throw another 1gb stick in there for $60. When i was customizing my laptop on dell.com they wanted $175 for a 1gb to 2gb upgrade they are so ridiculous cause 1gb of pc-5300 ddr2 667 laptop memory on costs about $60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted April 25, 2007 CID Share Posted April 25, 2007 I look at memory like HP in a car.. Do you really need all 400HP? If you like to put the pedal to the floor now and then, you probably would be glad you had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junerian Posted April 26, 2007 CID Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yea alot of DDR ram is backwards compatible so there's a good chance if you buy a DDR faster than your 400 it'll work (not guaranteing it though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to bet you have 2x512 in there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siryak Posted April 29, 2007 Author CID Share Posted April 29, 2007 Ok I have decided to just go with 1024mb to get me by..Why? Because I am wanting to buy me a real gaming rig within about a year or so, so I don't want to drop a whole bunch of cash into this one. Anyway I have narrowed it down to 2. Which one would yall go with? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=30260&CatId=1075 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1558799&Tab=2&NoMapp=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
