The choice is simple pretty with lots of resources or just plain old school with some good speed. There is however not much real time difference to matter with a really high end machine although the less is better in all things. Just what I believe and I do think most folks already know this but my goodness there are some really cool new things graphically with the new Windows Operating System. How can you stay away it depend on what you do with your computer. I agree with everything said in here.

If your computer uses DDR not DDR2 then you're less lucky; but an upgrade's still worth it at about $55/£30 Approx. for a 1 gigabyte stick. The two are NOT interchangable; so stick to your existing type of RAM.If your computer uses something like PC133 then I would recommend either not bothering or buying a new or newer PC: PC133 and PC100 are not so easy to get hold of these days, are older poor performance memory types, and will probably cost more than DDR; assuming that you can get a 1 gigabyte stick in either type. You can't use DDR or DDR2 instead without changing the motherboard, so maybe it's time to retire that old computer and use it as a boat-anchor, doorstop, or fax machine....That's my twopennethworth. Oh yae; XP can be made to use less resources, but for what it is I personally reckon it’s nice to have all those little extras running: I say this with confidence while running XP on a computer with an Athlon 64×2 CPU and 2GB RAM; which is not the standard of PC that everyone else runs XP on of course: However all said and done there is nothing really more enhancing than a RAM upgrade.

If your computer uses DDR2 then you’re in luck as it’s the cheapest type of memory available in today’s market; about $25/£13.75 or less for a 1 gigabyte stick. If your computer uses DDR not DDR2 then you’re less lucky; but an upgrade’s still worth it at about $55/£30 Approx. for a 1 gigabyte stick. The two are NOT interchangable; so stick to your existing type of RAM.

You can’t use DDR or DDR2 instead without changing the motherboard, so maybe it’s time to retire that old computer and use it as a boat-anchor, doorstop, or fax machine….

That’s my twopennethworth.
