well does your comp support 2GB or ram? do you have enough power for it etc. it's not as simple as having the slots there Smile

i just updated yesterday...from 1gb ram (2x512mb pc2700) to 2 gb ram (2x512mb pc2700 + 1x1024mb pc3200)...and i'm really happy Very Happy

let's take the f.e.a.r. sp demo for example...loading times are shorter... and the little lags, when you entered a big room, or the large outside area, e.g. have dissapeared.

it cost me 109 € btw...

my current specs:
p4 2667mhz @ 2933mhz
2gb ram
sapphire radeon x800 pro 256mb @ 502/475mhz (default: 475/450mhz)

It reminds me The 51st State (a.k.a Formule)
