Installing more than 2 gigs of RAM for now, is a waste of money since there are virtually no 32 bit applications that need more than that amount. When we start utilizing 64 bit applications, then it will be a different story. I would just get two matching sticks of 1 gig RAM. I agree that Crucial is a good place to determine exactly what type of RAM your computer needs.

The graphics card makes a tremendous difference in your computers graphics capability.
