quote from another site....

 have no issues with performance but since I upgraded to Vista, I felt the need to add another GB of memory, the issue is that DDR1 memory is relatively expensive nowadays (1GB=$44) so I thought it's time to upgrade, I'm a bit on budget so here goes my new possible setup:

- Intel Pentium Dual E2180 2GHz (I heard it's a great overclocker; 3GHz is supposed to be fairly easy) - $70
- Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L P35 Mobo - $84
- Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2x1GB) - $41

The new setup will cost something around $195, and I can sell the old setup for $56 because I will no longer need it, which cuts the deal down for me to $139.

Now the question is, should I just get myself one more GB of DDR1 memory for $44 or pay the extra $95 and get the new setup?

Will there be a performance gain that's significant enough to justify the extra $95 I'm going to pay if I went with the full upgrade option or not in your opinion? In other words, is it really worth it?

Thanks in advance.
