more ram? will it really help?

[quartz01]

hey all

i have a athlon 1700+
128mb 9600xt
80gb 7200RPM 8mb buffer HD
512mb pc3200 kingmax RAM

even though its slightly outa date i use it to game. would an additional 512mb of pc3200 RAM really help my performance?? i see a lot of people with 1gb but they have like athlon64's, so i was wondering if my system would do any better with it

yes, I would think so depending on your application.

It'll help, but not nearly as much as upgrading your cpu.

he is rite i thinik u need a 512 and take your 128 because it has a proplem with 512 and a 128 2gether it best putting 512 in on its own.

Upgrade your processor, not your ram. 512MB is ok for now, but an Athlon 1700+ is OLD! Invest in a new MOBO and Processor and make it AMD64 if at all in your budget range! You will thank me later, despite it being about 350 to upgrade it all!
