How much of a difference would be noticeable between 256mb DDR and 512mb SDR RAM cos my friend says his still gives better performance but i cant see any speed difference in games or windows at all

With bootups these days it's really all about RAM and harddrive quality.

One of my friends has just built his dad a new pc with an XP1600 and 256DDR ram. He was installing Win98SE edition last night and it loads up well quick. Where as mine takes ages even though I regularly clean out the start up programs. Looks like DDR is the way forward.

Too much RAM is something that doesn't exist. Always get it cheap if not to sell it when it's expensive or just put in another box.

They make and sell their own RAM chips to the highest quality, so not only is it the best RAM available, it's damn cheap too.

I think he meant to buy FROM Crucial, who sell RAM chips.

768MB should be enough for anything, even high end graphics work (but not for professional work). You should really concentrate on upgrading other parts, such as your graphics card (unless you already have a good one).

Out of curiosity, what the hell do you need that much for??? In all my professional career I have *never* come across any apps needing that much memory. I have worked on writing whole insurance systems that do nothing but number crunch all day and even they dont come close to using that sort of memory.
