Add more memory. That is the best upgrade you can give your system.

And second good upgrade would be to a 3800 X2.

Don't invite trouble.
2 gigs will be it since you have to factor in the memory on your video cards. XP has limits in that regard. As for what to buy, unless you intend to replace the Patriot ram the new ram had better match it. There would be no point in getting over clocking ram for one dual channel if the other dual channel is going to choke.

From your intial post :
Quote:
If you don't then just get 2 sticks of the same kind you already have and make sure you check the motherboard manual about how ram the will behave. Some boards will down clock all the ram to 333 (for example) if all the slots are filled. |

Just get another set of Patriot memory modules.
What everyone else is trying to say is don't mix different brands because sometimes it causes the system to become unstable. |
