I was wondering if I could buy an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb and use it until I buy a new computer and put the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb in that computer.

Providing the new computer you are getting has an agp slot, then yes you can transfer the card.

thanks for all of the help. If I want to add another 512 mb into my system, what type of ram would it be?

It would be pc2700 or ddr333.

you asked this question already in your other thread.
I already replied.

Sorry Tedster. I hadn`t seen the earlier thread.

Jezzz Please don`t post the same questions in different threads, it gets confusing for all concerned.

Thanks Regards Howard

Oh, sorry. I am new to this place. It won't happen again. Thanks for the help though.

That`s ok mate no problem.

About the 512 ram, there are many types of pc2700. Such as K-Byte, Pny, Kingston, and Viking. WIll they all work with my computer? Also, what is the best type?

Yes they would all work. I`m a big kingston fan myself, but that`s just me.

If you use the search feature, you will find lots of info about ram.

Regards Howard

I'm a Kingston fan too! Never had any trouble with them.

As far as memory goes, you must check with the manufactuer to see what brands your motherboard will take. Go with a tier 1 brand, Kingston, Crucial, Corsair, etc....

Make sure it will work with your motherboard. Some CPUs are picky. They get more picky the higher your Ram speed (i.e. PC3200). You have to use PC2700 speed for your system.

i couldnt find a 512mb kingston pc2700, bestbuy had a 1g and a 256, the 512 was for notebooks. Does one of those exist? What do you suggest that I do?

I guarantee they have it. You cannot use notebook memory in desktops and vice versa.

It's right on their web page here:
