Here's a couple of nubish questions on a RAM upgrade.

Will these help an overclock? Using 1GB of PC3200 right now.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820148009

These are $136 for 2 512MB modules totaling 1GB..... Right?

If folks think this brand sucks! :p LOL Can I get some recomendations on the same thing in a different brand in this price range?

And last if I decided to, Can I run these in tandem with my old ones. Would it cause any problems other than speed reduction(In other words I would forgo the higher clock speed I might get just to have 2 GIGS in my system)?

Thanks for any help :)

Price range? You want a 1 gig set?

First thanks for answering, I was beginning to think this was too dumb of a question!

I have been reading all the stickies and it seems getting 2 gigs of higher speed stuff would be the way to go. The last time checking on memory was a couple of years ago and no one was using 2 Gigs.

So 2 gigs Range of about $200. Two matched pairs

Whats up with your website? I can not get the advisor to work with either the IE or Firefox.
