Okay, this may sound a bit odd, but I need to upgrade my memory in this computer. Right now it is my best computer. Its a Dell E510. It works great, but is a bitch to upgrade. In the next 6 months or so I will be building a new conroe computer. Until then the memory in this computer isn't cutting it.
So I have two choices, I can buy a good 2 GB (2x1GB) and stick it in here and have 3 GB, and then transfer over the good stuff when I start building my conroe, or I can buy a cheap 1(2x512) for this computer and just buy new memory when I build my new computer. I realize that if I buy good memory and stick it in this computer it won't run like it should in this machine, due to the FSB and the other high latency memory thats in here, but it'll just be until I start my new computer anyway. That way I figure I'll only have to buy memory once, since after I upgrade to the conroe system I'll be fine having just 1GB on this machine for DVD viewing and burning and the few other things I plan on using it for.
I'm just not sure if I can find memory thats compatible with this computer that will also be good to put into my new system...
