By the way,
Why is 2*512 mb Ram Pc 3200 is so cheap? Is it because it is unbuffered memory or what. Or is it a good time to buy it. 2*512 ram for 77 dollars.... HMMM interesting, i have never seen such a good deal!

If you already have 1GB (2 x 512MB) of Kingston RAM, why do you need more? I thought we went thru this with you when you said something about running 4GB?

512MB is plenty for most people...

1GB is preferred by gamers...

Beyond that, you'll see no significant difference unless you do CAD work, video editting, or run some other type of memory intensive apps

Yes RAM is very cheap at the moment which is why there are great deals around.
RAM prices change almost daily, apparently its to do with the price or oil, as well as, ofcourse, the availability of RAM chips.
But anyway, who cares why its cheap, the fact is that it is. Now is the time to buy that Crucial, Corsair or whatever make you fancy high end ram you've always had your eye on!
Oh and I agree, 1GB ram is plenty. Your system will actually be slower in most cases with any more due to the increased latency.

Jam,
I sold my 2gb of ram out of 4gb of ram. I just made this post in order to tell everyone that prices for ram are going down tremendously!
From 140 dollars to 70 dollars, don't you all think that it is a change?

Apparently you haven't been keeping up with RAM prices. This drop didn't happen overnite...they've been falling gradually

Hey Jam,
Do you think that the prices are still going to fall, or are they going to go up again?
I was just wondering...

To answer your original question Corsair ram is excellent ram and I would not dream of mixing it with Kingston if I wanted the pc to work!
