I want to upgrade my RAM from the current 256MB. Now, I have heard that its wise to buy another 256MB chip and add it to the computer. Then what is called as the "Dual RAM Implementation" will come into effect, thus boosting the performance.

I actually wished to buy another 512MB chip. Is it like 256Mb+256Mb will deliver a better performance compared to a single 512MB chip?

I just bought a 512 M memory card from Crucial, after reading on their FAQ page that with modern computers, you can add a different size ram board to whatever is in there now. (If it turns out not to work, I'll pull out the 128 M and leave the 512 M.) So, if you buy a 512 M ram, you "should" be able to plug it in alongside the 256, and have 768 M. Their staff is knowledgeable, so if you read off the numbers on your existing RAM, they should be able to tell you if this will work. They'd really like to know the name of the computer, or the MOBO mfr., but they seem to be able to work around it, if you don't know. Their 800 number is 1-800-336-8915, 7am to 8pm mountain time, weekdays, 10am to 2pm Saturdays. They are owned by, and sell, Micron. Good luck, whatever you decide. --wa2say
