My question is, are these Good buys and if not, can you direct me to better ones?

the ram you mentioned you already have is that 2x256mb as well. if it is only one dimm i would just get another of the same and run dual channel if you can. as for the hdd i have always like WD over seagate, so my suggestion would be a caviar se.

the ram I already have is just 1 512 stick. i have 2 extra slots so I figured I should just install a dual 512 because tha seemed most efficiant

I like seagate because its realiable and fast.

I need that second hardrive because of something stupid i did.

When i was building my computer for the first time,i intended to put in the 120 gig as master and a 10 gig as a slave just for the hell of it. (Nothe the hard drive was about 7 or so years old)

I accidently masterd the ten gig and slaved the 1 20

After I built it my friend did all the bios and Xp stuff for me. When i started using my computer I noticed that it was slow and found out that my hard drives were backward. However being as naive as i was i ignored it thinking it would be okay. So after 50 gigs of stuff downloaded Im finally deciding to format and swap.

I was just stupid

well using 2x512mb in dual channel is probably the most efficient way to run memory. i still say WD though lol. they are fast and reliable. just for laughs i dug up an old pc mag of mine, well a couple of years old anyway. it had reviews of a stack of hdd's and WD had the fastest by 37% and the next fastest was also a WD. sorry i can't be more helpful about the graphics card

If you already have 1 stick of 512 memory, just get another single stick of 512, not the 2x256 you linked to.

The video card you linked to is PCI-e, just a hunch, but since you are currently running a 9600, I am guessing you do not have PCI-e on your mobo, you most likely have AGP. If that is the case, you will need an AGP gfx card, and I would suggest the 6800GT over to 800xl.

The hd is fine.

Ya, if your going agp, the 6800GT is def a better value. For around 270 dollars, you can get better performance in most of the games out there. The 800XL costs 300+ for AGP, and performs worse than the 6800GT.

wait, i just realized that I put up a dual 256 instead of a dual 512. Sorry

how about this for the card?

Also I have a another RAM related Question- if I have a 512 mb stick and add antother gig to it, will it offer any good increase? or should I just add one 512 stick
