If you don't draw yours, I won't draw mine. A police officer, working in the small town that he lives in, focusing on family and shooting and coffee, and occasionally putting some people in jail.
That aforementioned anticipated package was actually in my mailbox. Updating one's old desktop memory from 250 meg to 2 gig of Muskin makes you actually like your machine again. Total time spent in the upgrade: 100 seconds. That was a few bucks well-spent. :)

I think that there's bound to be a way to serve myself, serve my community, and not take freedom away from good people.

RAM is good.
it's very good, as long as it's completely compatible. I've been working all week of a frazzlin' Dell laptop that hates all major memory brands. I think this guy is going to be SOL unless he wants me to order it direct. Trying to upgrade from 512mb in 2 SODIMMS to 2-512 mb SODIMMs.
Some things are just not worth it.

More RAM is better; but Cell Processing is even better than RAM :-) However, it does cost a little more...
Rabbit-- I had cheated: before I ordered my memory, I popped the cover of my machine off, took a digi photo of the motherboard, then did a search for the board's model number. When I found the online specs for the board, I picked memory that it specifically said it used, and then just bought the best brand of that type that I readily found availible. Yeah, I think I could have gotten very slightly faster memory, but not for less money, less effort, and in as good a brand quality. And why gild the lily? 8X more memory is nothing to be sneezed at. :)
If you are running a Windoze machine and want to speed it up a little more, now that you have 2GB of RAM you can turn the page file off.
That will reduce your disk access considerably and speed the machine up even more.
