    wll i personally doubt it will speed up the process much if at all you will notice however faster startup and gaming perfomance. Any old memeory will do to be honest but go with a good brand like crucial ram. Dont waste extra money on OCZ stuff or anything like that i have tried that memeory and it realy doesnt improve much. But only get ddr2100 dont get faster or youll be paying extr for nothing as your board doesnt support it.

    E_Pizza is right, that wont really speed up the process, but try some places like:

    Kingston and Crucial are both great brands and their websites have a wizard to help you find the right memory for your hardware.

    @ E_Pizza

    I know this is totally off the subject, but I noticed in your sig that is says AMD Athlon 3000+ (3Ghz) Barton (2225Mhz).

    Because the actual speed of an Athlon 3000+ is about 2.16Ghz. And when I read your sig I got all confused. So either you must have the thing majorly overclocked or something.

    yes your right i have overclocked it a little the real clock rating stock is 2167 Mhz but ive just turned up the multiplyer in the bios to get the performance of the 3200+

    I got it to 2339Mhz but that wasent stable at all lol nice for spotting that nobody has ever spotted it

    The only reason it stood out was because I was like damn my FX-55 only runs at 2.6Ghz and your non-64bit(unless it is) 3000+ is faster than mine.

    lol its only a 32-Bit just did that to get encoding done faster dont back the whole 64-Bit stuff just yet waiting for dual cores, PCI-E and XDR or DDR3 memory to come into play a bit before splashing out.
