Whatever you choose, when you receive your new RAM always get the latest version of memtest86 and run it against your new RAM for at least a night. If it shows any errors, send it back. Jochem ~| Get help! RoboHelp http://www.h

I wouldn't use registered ram except for a server. It sacrifices a little bit of performance for bit checking. For a server, I would accept the slight performance hit for the security that the data wasn't corrupted. It's been a while since I've used it since I don't build servers, but I didn't hav

Good news - You won't have 1512 MB, you'll have 1536! Anyway, there are two rules with RAM: 1. You can never have too much RAM 2. See Rule 1. You will see a marked improvement in almost every intensive application by adding that much memory.  That is to say, Minesweeper won't be any faster, bu

I think you'll be just fine with the 512 additional.  At some point you get diminishing returns and I believe the 512 itself surpasses that, much less the whole extra gig. - Matt Small   _   From: Candace Cottrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:30 AM To: CF-C
