[QUOTE="Jem, post: 295975, member: 19842"] Nice one mate, that sounds a great price to me for a nice piece of kit. You should be well pleased. When I upgraded, I received a faulty 1GB module (+ a working one) and while the faulty one was being replaced I ran with 1 x 1GB and I must say the performance increase I got going from 1 x 512MB was a lot more noticeable than I got going from 1GB to 2GB. If you're not planning on running many intensive applications simultaneously then you may find a 1 x 512MB upgrade is more than enough. If, at a later date, you find you still want more then eBay the 512MB modules - they fetch decent money there. :) [/QUOTE]
