Memory Upgrade

[scj6771]

Looking for some butt-kickin memory for my Asus A8N-E, I am running Windows Vista with 1 gig of CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel and wanna bump it up to 2 gigs.

Perhaps I should upgrade my MSI NX7600GT-VT2D256E GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card? Cant seem to get the performance I had when I was running Win XP, I have to run Halo 2 on the lowest settings.

Ya A new video card would help out a lot and a total of 2GB of RAM wouldnt hurt. Depends on your budget.

if its gaming performance you are looking for and can't do both ram and video card, the video card upgrade will give you a more noticeable increase in performance if you can only upgrade one or the other right now.

Dam!!! What a shame, I just bought that card less than a year ago, technology progression can be so expensive!!!!

Any thoughts on an Nvidia card for $200.00 or less?

Ya, if its 200 or less it wont last very long. LOL


An 8800GTS 320 meg card is a good value, sometimes you can find them for around $250-$260.

I agree with the suggestion Yard made...great choice if you can swing the cash for it.

what else is under the hood in your machine...What processor you running?
