Hi everyone.

I'm trying to upgrade the RAM for my old desktop computer.
According to CPU-Z, I have 2x512mb (pc 3200 200mhz) in slot A and C.

Now here is my question, I'm thinking of buying 2x1gb (pc 3200 200mhz) so i can have total of 3gb ram memory.

would It work or should I just buy 2x512mb (pc 3200 200mhz) to have 2gb.

Give me the best suggestion thanks.

My mobo is Asus p4p800 (regular no delux)

Please reply me back PPL!!!

if you require the 3 gigs total, due to particular apps that you run, then go for it. get the dual channel kit.

As your board supports dual channel memory, get a RAM that supports dual channel and for your computer, XP only supports 3gb of ram
