These are companies you can trust to buy ram from. There are other but i recommend these.
crucial
kingston
corsair
ocz
geil
kingmax
pqi
mushikin
ThatÂ’s my list of ram companies you can trust and will give you great products and performance.
Ok for the memory.
The higher the PC (number) the faster it is so say you have PC3200 and PC4200 the PC4200 is faster.
Also the PC and DDR correspond
Like this
PC3200 = DDR400
PC3500 = DDR433
PC4000 = DDR500
PC4200 = DDR533
And so on.
Hugo82
DDR2-533 (PC2-4200)
DDR2-400 (PC2-3200)
ThatÂ’s DDR2 not normal DDR. Also if he gets a AMD system they donÂ’t support DDR2 only DDR.
As for your graphics card problem i would suggest a 9600XT. It will fit nicely into your budget and will be able to handle HL2 on normal settings.
