Well, not sure if to put this in general hardware, or the general forum... I guess it's a little of both.
Well previously I had been stuck with the 512 MB of Corsair XMS 2400 CAS 2 which I got with my Athlon XP 1900+ several years ago. When I upgraded to an Athlon 64, I just didn't have the money.
Anyhow, Best Buy has Corsair XMS Pro PC3200 on sale for $69.95 till tomarrow

But they're sold out locally. Actually their website says it's in stock locally at the store on the west side (I live on the east side), but a call to the store, and a check of their shelves shows the website to be in error. And wouldn't you know, the local stores won't get it back into stock until after the sale is over, as it hadn't come on the truck...
However, I can get it from Santa Fe (they have 2 DIMMs in stock, which I checked as I have a socket 939 A64, and also do need 1 GB minimum now. As turns out, there's money in an account of mine back where my father lives, that he totally forgot about being there, so he transfered it, and told me I could grab it anytime now.
Only thing is it's a 90 mile drive (much farther then the theater was), so I got them to hold it (ordinarily I guess they wouldn't but the guy said for living in Albuquerque and all, and having to drive so far to get up there he would).
My computer no doubt will run better with it, will probably no more latter. Well I'm off, and will probably figure out lunch after I've gotten up there or something.
