What would YOU do with 2 512 MB sticks of RAM?

[murphy55d]

Do you all think it is worth it to have 2 sticks of 512 MB PC2100 in your system... or maybe would I be better off selling/trading one of the sticks for something else?

I'm running WinXP Pro. Is there really any use for that much RAM in a gaming system?

Thanks.

me wonders why you bought all that ram if you didn't really want to use it all!

 

[odog]

personally i can't tell the difference unless i run that code creatures benchmark...

OTOH memory is like stocks.... buy low sell high...

 

[rudder]

If it were me, I would stick it in my machine. If you don't think you need that much sell a stick with your video card and get a geforce 4 or something.

I'd chop it up into little pieces, and make ram soup.

That's my idiotic comment for the day, see ya tommorow

No need for that much RAM unless you run video or sound editing.

512M is all you really are ever going to use in XP. Probably wouldn't even touch 384.

 

[Dreadogg]

really trade it for what you paid you probally bought it cheap anyway! Unless your thinking of soon putting together another DDR ram system, I am and wish I had it! 512 is the sweet spot in XP. I use at the most about 256 Mb's of it, but its always good to have backup!

Stick them in my pockets so I could walk around and tell ppl I have (with pinky to corner of mouth) 1 BILLION bytes in my pants.

You can sell one of those sticks to me for a decent price...seriously

 

[CubicZirconia]

I'd sell one and buy a geforce 4.

Good God man, instead of posting here and speculating just install the things and enjoy yourself.

 

[RichieZ]

I would put it in my computer, u can never have enough ram

 

[Adul]

mmm install them

 

[Derango]

I'd put one of them in my machine, bringing me up to 1GB of ram, and then I'd sell the other one

 

[HardWareXpert]

I'd use it all for 3D Studio max 4, use over 700Mb of Vmem as it is.

 

[murphy55d]

I think I am just going to use one of the 512's, try and trade up with my video card to get a better one.

Thanks for the input.
