How much will and extra 1 gig Ram improve performance?

Well the cheapest i can get 1gig of ddr400 ram is 62 dollars and thats really expensive so i can only afford 1 gig.

DDR memory can be expensive now, because it isn't in high demand or supply. I don't know if this is against the rules, but I have some high performance DDR400 memory I am looking to sell or trade. If you post your motherboard, I'll find out if anything I have will work for you.

And yes, you'll see a HUGE difference going from 512 MB to anything! I still have to support some laptops at work running XP with 1 GB of system memory, and they are painful to use.

element that could be a problem. Are you in a large city, or close enogh to have a wire service within an hour dirve? I know the answer is gonna be no

Im not sure about your country but banks, wire services etc can issue bank checks or drafts that retailers will accept

I can imagine then, that what I consider to be high-priced RAM here in the states, would cost even more by the time you'd be able to buy it.

Plus bank fees. If I had spare memory that he could use I would just send it to him

Edit: wait I just might If he has 2 free slots I have 256 ddr dimms. Let me check

How many free memory slots do you have? You use DDR pc3200 right?

Ken;

It is a Chaintech 7NIF2 MB with three DDR memory slots. In the USA, DDR is about $30 per GB, whereas DDR2 can be had for half that.
