If your motherboard can handle it I would buy a 1gb strip instead of 2- 512mb strips. Here is a link to a 1gb strip for $74.99 -- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...sp?EdpNo=710867

don't go tigerdirect.

go with the OCZ Platinum Series 1gb stick from newegg:

this ram is very fast and VERY reliable

yea im only going to buy from newegg cuz i have baught stuff from them forever and they do GREAT biz. also i only want to buy memory of what i feel is a good brand... Crutial, OCZ, Geil, kingston or corsiar. i coudl go 1gig strips but i dont think ill every upgrade to 4gig of ram (lots of newer boards support this) buy the time i ever did that i would buy a new motherboard. Ill prob end up buying 4x512 over time which is 2 gig and plently to last several years. im going to start out with a gig at the momen though. keep the ideas coming

I get stuff from www.ncix.com since I live in Canada and they are terrific. I got 2x1GB OCZ Platinum PC3200 Dual Channel for my new PC.
