Main memory I have a dilemma. Should I put more memory (main memory)? I have the processor (AMD Athlon XP 2500 + / 1.83 GHz/256MB of RAM), (K7 Triton Motherboard GA-7N400). Because of slow performance, which has 256MB. I want to add another 256MB of memory (512 main memory). PC Windows XP Professional SP3. Thanks Toni Dragicevic
You could do that. But I would check to see if you couldn't pick up two 1 GB RAM sticks instead. Memory has gotten cheaper & Windows XP is a memory hog that likes at least 1 GB of RAM.

it depends on how big the ram and the hd is. the bigger the hd and ram the more expensive it is except for their transfer rates. if your planning on upgrading because of games, you will need atleast 7200 rpm for the hardisk which costs more than a typical one. but for all i know thats the default for a desktop. there are 10,000 rpm also which are more expensive than the bigger hd's. same with the RAM. you can check ebay for the price. but the price depends on the country you are in if your buying it from your place.
