Hi,
I'm running on my notebook an Athlon XP-M 2800+ (it's the weird chips with the disabled 64bit architecture, with a tiny 128 L2 cache)
Anyways, right now, there is a 256 MB DDR stick installed with another slot for upgrading up to 1256 MB.
I'm not going to spend half a grand (Can) to get a 1 GB stick, so I can get a 512 MB or under. How much do you guys think is a good amount to get? 512 MB or 256 MB? Is 512 MB overkill?
Also, what does the PC# mean? For example, I see PC2100, PC2700, PC3200.
One last thing, are Crucial or Kingston good brands for memory?
