Just gon o newegg.com and find your motherboard and CPU combo to see what RAM will go with them. If you will be using XP, get 1 or 2GB. If you will move to Vista someday, get 2 or 3GB. Depends on what you're using the PC for. RAM is a bit expensive just now so if you don't need it immediately.....

... ive looked at corsairs range of ram and i think value select is the way to go....
I'll just toss in my 2 cents' worth of brand jihad and point out that Corsair's ValueSelect line is very poor quality, no better than generic. If you want "value" RAM, go with Kingston's ValueRAM line or one of the other value lines. Even though Corsair's main lines are great, their ValueSelect is junk.

Please for the love of god AppleCertifiedPro,

Get rid of the caps in the subject.
Get rid on 1337 speak in the subject.
Get rid of your spelling errors in the subject.

Thanks,
~3lfk1ng

P.S. After seeing your "THGFZ post history" I have decided that you would be much better off purchasing yourself an E-machine.
 
Says the guy whos name is in L33t. :)


But yes, for any serious requests that require time and effort for a reply.... leave out the noob l33t and typos like you didnt want to waste your time writting it in the first place... because then nobody will want to waste their time replying to you.

Macs are for those who don't want to know why their computer works.
Linux is for those who want to know why their computer works.
DOS is for those who want to know why their computer doesn't work.
Windows is for those who don't want to know why their computer doesn't work.

Let me fix that for you... cause you are way off.

Macs are for those who don't want to know why their computer works.
Linux is for script-kiddies, and people who want to fix everything, even if its not broken.
DOS is for those who dont care about a GUI, but still want compatibility.
Windows is for those who understand why their computer doesn't work, and usualy to lazy to do anything about it.
