Re: Looking to upgrade memory and possibly video card
Ummm...if I remember correctly it was an Nvidia Geforce 8300GS.
The ram was upgraded as was the graphics card and psu (I had a 500w in that machine, shoulda kept it lol). It was I believe 2gig. Not much but I didn't need it back when WoW only had the 1st xpac out.
I'm really liking the 4850. Seems I 've heard about it from the WoW forums. Looks like a very nice card. However, like you said, if WoW is the only thing I am doing, I really see no need for the "top of the line".
Also, if you are sure that I won't need to upgrade to Vista 64 bit in order to get 4gig of ram, then I guess it couldn't hurt to do it. |

LOL... some people over there in the other forum are confusing you. It is perfectly fine to install 2-2GB sticks (4GB total) in your Vista 32 bit OS. I have 2-2GB modules (Vista Ultimate 32-bit) and am running in dual-channel mode (see above). For under $50, you'll be all set. Forget the 3GB, single channel mode idea. It's a bad one! 
[EDIT] I see you want to add 2-1GB sticks. I personally wouldn't mix different RAM modules, but as stated, you may be fine. If your motherboard supports 2GB modules, I'd just add two of those and keep your existing sticks as spares.... But that's just me...  |
