Quick Q about RAM
I'm new to all this and i just upgraded to 2gb ddr2 ram and i looked on my mother board and next to the slots it looked like i could add to more slots for ram. Is it possible to add slots and if so where would i buy the slots?

Welcome to the forums! Unfortunately no, you can't add RAM banks onto a motherboard. The space you're referring to would imply that the manufacturer uses the same reference PCB for boards with both two and four slots - a four-slot board would most likely be more expensive.

No - you COULD replace your 2x1GB sticks with 2x2GB sticks. I'd say, though, that 2GB was more than enough for most uses at the moment. You'd also need a 64-bit operating system to fully utilise 4GB of memory. Since you just upgraded, I wouldn't worry about it too much at the moment
