When I try to add 4 GB it says that 32 bit windows (Vista and XP) will not use it correctly/fully.
Is that true?

Is that true?

That partially true...it also depends on the processor I think. But you can go up to 3 gb for sure.

So wait...
When I buy the setup,
could I use the 1GB stick that I have from my old PC?
It's the same type, DDR2.
Or wouldn't that fit?

Thanks for the help so far

[Jatt101]

Yeah...its DDR2.

[Savagefreak]

Heh, thanks
Is the 8800 Ultra a good, reliable card?

[-Dan-]

Yes, could play almost, if not all games on the market.

3GB = Bad
Speed increases at that high amounts of memory are due to the speed of the chips, not the capacity. When you get 3GB, two sticks will be from a matched pair, which is good, but 1 stick will be unmatched to both. It will only make a difference if all the memory is REALLY fast - in this situation, it's not really worth the extra. But you might as well get the PC, and try it with either and see what works best.

Will the on-board-sound-card-thing be sufficient(sp)?

[Siouxsie]

If you have to ask, then yes.

[cshd]

I think you should put more ram, but i'm just a ram addict

[Siouxsie]

It's really easy to add more RAM later on - it's not like getting it right with a graphics card or processor, where you have to change it completely. Just add another 2 sticks the same size in and you'll have no problems + a nice speed boost. Meaning, don't go overboard with RAM when you buy it, and spend more on other parts.

Dude that is sick. quad core + NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra = pwnage

And if you add like 4 gb of ram its would be even sicker.

My dad has a quad core and the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 and that is sick!!! His comp rating is like 5.9/6.0
