|  i love ram hey guys. been thinkin, maybe i should buy another gig of ram....the two empty slots in my mobo look awfully lonely... same kind as my current (pc-6400c4), 2x512 sticks. i can get em for about 150. you guys think it's worth it, performance-wise?

| Running 3 gigs of memory? What kind of noticeable performance increase will you think you'll have? I was considering doing the same thing. I thought that RAM let you multitask more at once... does it do anything else?

| thanks for the info, i may get it anyway if it goes down in price a little. also, thanks to the moderator who erased my sig which took me so long to make... its not any bigger than a lot of them on here, b1gapl included. (not picking on you b1gapl, just pointing it out). by "too big" do you mean takes up too much page room, or too big resolution. a little elaboration would be nice before i modify it and make it smaller only to have it erased again. i've only had it on here for, hmmm...let's see, about two weeks now with no problems. you could have at least p.m. me and asked me to scale it down. thanks.

| okay thanks i know that the small pic has a size limit, i just figured as long as sig was reasonable it would be okay. i didnt see a size limit on it. i'll make it to fit those dimensions. dude i really wasn't picking on you, your sig was just the closest big one for comparison.
