    alright i currently have 1 gig of ram in my computer at home (2x512mb)

    my question is would it make a big difference if i were to change with out with a higher FSB ram like the Kingston HyperX series? i would be gaining about 400mhz of bus speed on each stick, do you guys think i would FEEL that difference?

    any ideas or comments PLZ

    you probably wont notice a big difference with a higher frequency ram if you already have ddr2 800. but you will notice an improvement going form 1gb to 2gb.

    Indeed, RAM speed isn't of big importance really unless you're overclocking. Just get more of it!
