I'm going to add another stick of memory to my system. i have three banks two filled with 2x512 PC 3200 so i was thinking of a 1gig stick for bank three. should i bye a 1gig PC3200 or would i gain anything from choosing PC400. my be placing PC 400 in would mess things up??

PC3200 400 MHz memory is also referred to as PC400.With XP and 1 Gb RAM plus 256 Mb of dedicated video memory,your system has already more than enough memory unless you intend to upgrade to Vista.A program like Cacheman 5.50 can show you memory usage as it stands.

"PC3200 400 MHz memory is also referred to as PC400"
so pc 3200 and 400 are the same???
