Is it worth upgrading from 1G to 2G? This is for use in newer games, internet, and multitasking, with a little photoshopping.

Well if you are playing games you can probably tell if you could use more performance. The upgrade to 2 GBs will definitely be noticeable in overall smoothness and responsiveness.

PhotoShop shines with 2g of ram! and over all yes - if it is not a large dent in your pocket - i say YES, might as well get it now since ram is pretty cheap.

I picked up these...

the price for the performance is well worth it. Considering the fact I'm going to be selling off my old, but still awsome, 1GB kit of BH-5's... the price difference/dent is hardly noticeable, if at all.

Bought the same pair. They're coming today. Seems like a good set of ram. Good timings at stock, and it seems like you can get ~240 @ 2.5CL, and ~260CL3 if you get a good set.
