[KatManDu]

still looks like not-hard-to-find ddr 400 ram (pc 3200)

[Nifty]

my computer runs fairly slowly (3-5 minutes to boot up and log in). a long time to start and load maps in BF2. i have a P4 intel 3.2ghz processor, radeon 9550 256mb. i think this is pretty average. my ram however is 512. i think that upgrading ram to this will help a lot, but am not sure. this is the ram i was thinking bout:RAM
will it work with my system (will attatch my dx diag specs soon in an edit), is it a good speed, will it speed up my system?

thank u

Hey Easy,
Just tidying up the replies for ya.
You have 4 slots on the motherboard. Each slot will take up to 1 gig of Ram.
I recommend Corsair or Kingston, both have lifetime warranties.
Use DDR 400 or 3200
4 x 512 ram is still cheaper than 2 x 1gig i believe but the 1gig ram chips will allow more upgrading later on and save you money in the long run.
I don't recommend DDR 2 as it can be unstable with a few systems (why risk it if you don't really need it).
Your motherboard takes the standard 184 pin so you can buy the ram anywhere.

his motheboard does not support DDR2
