Yeah, bringing your computer up to 1Gig should help also. If your rig uses 256 x 2 sticks make sure that is what you get so you can keep dual channel memory running. Also try and match the sticks if you can.

For a power supply look at the FSP 450watt or the Antec 500watt. They are both very good brands.

I found this one to have a nice price and reviews...

I have two 256MB sticks...should I get two more or is it okay to buy two 512MB and have all four slots taken with 1536MB of RAM?

|512|256|||512|256|
1----2--------3---4

EDIT: Of the same brand of course.
 
That card only costs $180. My point proven. Don't get me wrong by the time you read this it may cost $250.

Anyway please do a little bit of research in the future. I do for every post.

Actually, when this thread was started, the card was $200 on newegg. Not only that, newegg is not the only source for prices.
 
Well you need to print and send in the form, two months latter (or so) you get a check. The shipping is not free. BTW Aptiva/Aspire or not very good PSUs. Ultra has made some bad ones too but I believe this one is alright.

Two whole months? Damn. it's worth a try....is it guaranteed?
 
It a fairly sure thing but you must follow all of the directions in the rebate form or the will reject it.
 
Watch your quotes--the mods are cracking down on them. They don't like quoting the last post for some reason.

This rebate seems easy, some are not.
 
Wow, that's a good deal on the Ultra PSU. I am in fact running Ultra X-Finity 500Watt model on my machine, and it has been working superbly. There are plenty of positive reviews for the X-Finity on Google. It's true that some Ultra PSU's are crap (Ultra V-Series, X-Connect), but there are some that are okay, like the X-Finity and X-2.

It's a great deal getting the PSU for free, but two months is an awful long rebate...don't mind the wait?


BlindObject, that PSU you linked to would not be a good choice. Aspire/Apevia is on the infamous list of bad PSU brands (just Google "bad PSU brands" or something similar).

You'll be better off with an Antec, Enermax, Thermaltake, Seasonic, or FSP brand PSU. They are the actual reliable ones (for more, just Google "good PSU brands" or something similar).
