    Very nice and good bang for the buck.

    Now, start saving for the other 512 of mem. ;) Be sure to buy the exact same one again. Mem does not like to be mixed and matched. Rather, computers do not like it.

    Absolutely. I forgot to write down how many of what we bought-- looking over the list, we did infact buy two of 'em. I mean, otherwise the DDR would be useless!

    I think it's almost time for me to get rid of my old PC and get a new one. Currently I have;

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 939
    3200+ A64
    1024Mb DDR PC3500 OCZ
    (2) 120Gb SATA in RAID 0 config
    GeForce 6600GT AGP
    NEC 3500 DVD Burner
    52x16x52 CD Burner
    CoolerMaster Praetorian Silver Aluminum Case

    I'd probaly sell it all for around $800 w/out the OS.
