Sorry for probably such an easy question but, I am planning on buying more RAM for my pc and i want 512MB more, so i should have 768MB total,(maybe i will buy 2 512 sticks) so my pc is faster and i dont know how to figure out what my ram is, i mean i know there is 2 slots with 256 each but isnt there like 2 different kinds of ram? anyways, how would i find out what i have? Or, should i just take out the ram of my pc, bring it with me and give it to one of the people that work there and let them get me a 512? also, how much would it cost to get a 512 MB stick of ram? also what is the next size and for how much? Right now, i have 512 MB of ram and i want more so it will help me on my games so the would run faster. i also have a GeForce FX 5200 128 MB video card. Would upgrading that make my games and my pc run faster?

Memory has to be installed according to the mother board manufacturer's specifications. I don't know if another video card will improve the game speed.

Check Crucial.com for guaranteed compatable memory, they have a memory scanner that will tell you what you have and what memory will work for your computer. Memory will definitly speed up your computer. Crucial also sells video card upgrades for improved graphics.

thanks for the help

However, do not buy your video card from Crucial ;-) http://www.dellupgrades.com/
