do ctrl-alt-del & use task manager to tell you what your resources sit at.

Im taking it that your upgradin your graphics for better gaming abilities so i would get more memory anyway as most new games dont tend to work brilliantly with any less that 1 gig of ram so if youve got a free memory slot slap an extra 512mb in there
Studio Comp: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ OC ~ 2.35GHz runs at 40 celcius idle and 48 under stress (aerocool GT1000 really works!), Asrock K7VT4A , 1024MB Dual Channel DDR 400, MSI Nvidia FX5200 128MB OC ~ 600MHz mem 350MHz core,80GB SATA + 200GB SATA + 120GB IDE, 7.1 Channel Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum EX sound and midi interface. 19" Sony SDM-HS95 TFT monitor - sweeet
Comp2: AMD Sempron 2400+ OC ~ 2.0GHz (Stable), Asrock K7S41GX, 512MB DDR 333, Onboard Graphics, 40GB Maxtor IDE
set of monitors on the way soon :P

I'm currently building a computer and my atx motherboard has 3 Ram slots. I was wondering if I should stick 3x 1gb sticks in there or stick with 3x 512mb ones. I'm going to get a eVGA 256mb 7800GT if that matters. And anyone has suggestions on what brand I should get?Thanks in advance.

hey invasian,
well putting 1 gig in every slot will giv you twice as much memory as putting 512 in every slot which is better espescially if your planning on doing a lot of gaming,
more memory the better as a general rule
Do you mean brand of memory or brand of grfx card?

Thanks for input. Sorry didn't clear it, what brand of Ram is what I meant. It can handle 3GB. I'm going to use it for gaming. Seems that everyone uses 1gb for gaming.
