Hey everyone. This is my first post so please bare with me as I'm knew here
I am currently in the process of upgrading my XPS 400. I just ordered a 8800 GeForce overstocked 320mb graphics card, which at first I didn't know if I would need to upgrade my power supply unit, but from reading some forums, I found out I wouldn't need to. So I'm looking forward to having the weekend to seeing the advantages of that.
I currently have 1 gig memory on my system, which I'm looking to upgrade that this coming week. I was just wondering with that, should I go ahead and get 2 gigs, 3 gigs or max the system out with 4 gigs? I run XP Professional which can handle up to 4 gigs of memory. As of right now, I can't decide whether to go with just the one gig upgrade or go with the 2 gig (total of 3 gig). Will there big a big noticeable difference between 2 and 3 gig?
I might add that my primary purpose on this system is video editing and my second purpose is gaming.
I appreciate the help!
