hey every1 i need ur expertize again, i wana buy som more ram, i read somewhere that ram is sometimes the best bet wen wanting som extra power in ur gaming (not sure if true) but hey ive only got 512 mb , i want 1 gb ram so all i gota do is just buy another 512mb stick to take it up to 1gb right???
This is my ram specs plz advise me on what to get as there are SO MANY!
Module size: 512mb
Max bandwith: PC2700 (166mhz)
Manufacturer: Samsung
Basically just get another stick of 512 MB PC2700. A good value level (ie Kingston ValueRam) stick with a CAS latency of 3 should be fine. A few decent brands - Corsair, Geil, Kingston, Mushkin

Cas of 3? That's the worst CAS (besides 4) there is. i would say for the same price you can get some Mushkin or something that does 2.5-3-3-5 or better. www.newegg.com is a pretty good place, have 512MB sticks really cheap, you shouldn't spend more than $80 i think if your going for ValueRAM.

Yes a CAS of 3 isn't great, I was thinking more in terms of price and I'm assuming the stick he has in there isn't a high performance one.

Erm correct me if im wrong but he comes from England, and newegg is a US website as far as I know so if that is true the link you sent him is useless unless he wants to spend laods on shipping it.

yes you're correct, they don't ship to England. Even if they did i don't think shippping would be loads...a stick of ram is tiny lol. But maybe he could use newegg.com as a price comparison, or just an inventory to look at and find something...then see if he can get it from a different site. didn't realize he was in England my bad.

granted but if you think about it from CAS3 to CAS2 is generally only a 4-8% performance boost
