if you can, get this:

Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

it's only $5 more the the GeIL you have.

lol, I just read this review for the graphics card "i have a dual core amd2 socket 2.6ghz (5000+)cpu and a gig of ram and a 21inch monitor. ok here is the rundown of the games i have played it with (no overclocking and just 1 video card=not sli'd)~ plays all the steam games (hl2, ect.) on the highest everything with 1600x1200 and i get about 100fps on average it ~ will play doom3 (and resurection of evil)ultrahigh at about 1024x768 100-200 fps ~ battlefeild 2142 it will play everything highest and 1600x1200 60-100 fps average command and conquer generals (and zero hour) everything highest at 1600x1200 200 fps ~ max payne 2 everything highest 1600x1200 200 fps ~ farcry everything highest 1600x1200 100-200 fps ~ call of duty 2 everything at its highest 1600x1200 100-200 fps ~ ghost recon advanced warfighter everything on highest 1600x1200 80-100 fps average fear (and fear extraction point) will play on maximum everything 1024x768 40-60 fps" and for some reason he has 27/27 positive recommendations.

Don't believe this guy if that's the reason you're getting this card because it's not true in the least. I have a 7900GT overclocked WAY past the card you're buying and have more pixel pipelnes, and mine won't play as well as that guy is saying. You'll be able to play well in these games, but don't expect highest settings. Especially in FEAR, mine still has trouble doing everything maxed out. So, again, do NOT believe this guy, the card isn't that good, but it's still good for that price.

So wait, let me get this right... you came here specifically to ask if they all work together, and buy it before anyone posts? Nice logic d00d.

Logic died a long time ago when we imparted it to the computers.
