I have:
-Intel Pentium 4 3.00Mhz Processor
-nVidia Geforce 6800
-512MB Ram

I have a feeling my ram is sort of bottlenecking my system, so I was looking into buying two 512MB ram sticks to basically have a 1512MB ram, weird...

And on newegg.com I stumbled at items labeled "Unbuffered System Memory" what exactlly does it mean by "Unbuffered"? If it basically means refurbished, then I personally don't mind...

Just wondering though. Do you have Two sticks of 256MB (512MB total) OR One 512MB stick at the moment?
Also does your system have the Dual Channel Memory feature?

Two sticks of 256MB, and I think my motherboard does have a DCM feature...That's where you put identical sticks in identical postion right?

And what exactlly does "Timing" mean in RAM?
