Depends upon (1) the type of RAM, and (2) the quality of the RAM chip (there is a lot of not so good stuff out there that's cheap as well as inexpensive...)

Price watch currently shows $33 for 256MB PC133. Keep in mind that most generic memory is made with chips that didn't meet the quality standards of some name brand chip manufacturer. With memory, you get what you pay for. Many times those untraceable problems with your system are probably due to memory errors. I'm cheap so I watch for specials on memory. I recently got Kingston value ram 128MB module for free after rebate, 256MB for $10 after rebate. OfficeMax often runs those kinds of specials. They have a special here starting Sunday for Kingston 512MB of 333Mhz DDR for $60 after rebates.

Lately, I've noticed that 256mb has been selling for $30 (after rebate) & DDR prices have been dropping. Make sure whatever you get has a lifetime guarantee...usually there's no problem exchanging at the store, but I've had to send two 256mb sticks back for warranty replacement...one was Kingston ValueRAM...the other was Reptron...
You'll need to know if your mobo can accept "high density" RAM or not. Your mobo must accept 512MB in each memory slot for high density to work...otherwise, you'll need "low density" RAM.
Summary: First of all, you should note that there's a difference in price. Just check prices for memory, and you'll see that the higher density ram costs more. If you settle for what the company wants to giv...
Summary: My opinion is that more ram is better than faster ram for most uses. Kind of an odd deal they price that stuff at. I wanted to upgrade a few gig to an dual xeon server but the older ram costs way mor...
Summary: Take the Soltek SL-75FRN2-L nforce2 mobo. Nforce2 is the best for socket A and this mobo have just good reviews. I personnaly own one and this board is awesome. It support 400mhz FSB, dual DDR400, ...
