yes i have to buy a kit??

For dual channel, get 2 X 1GB or else u can't run dual channel...

You can actually buy one now if you're tight on cash and buy another similar stick/specs later if you can find it. The onus here is that you might not be able to get another one that is compatible to enable dual channel.

It's not necessary to buy the "kit" types if you're pretty sure you can get two pieces of similar spec'ed value ram.

if u do have like 2 GB's of ram now, ur quite futurproof with a good system

when vista come out 2gb will become standard for gaming pc.

What u mean by high price?Twinmos speed premium BH5 600bucs mahal ah?

some times i really dun undestand, we keep upgrading ram and gc to play the most decent game, look at playstation, buy once, and u can play all the games u wan....damn this pc industry is really sickening...

how much would a good pair of 2 gig Kit cost??

In my study to get a fast performance its not depend on how much a pc have in memory,theres other effect too besides then memory..i guess u guys noe this rite...I think for a middle ranged pc at 1GB is enough..no point adding too much..save up & get a new rig...hehe

Erm..im using P4 531 hmm...izzit a middle ranged or high ranged proc?I think its a middle rite?

Whats a good brand of Dual channel kit? and how much would they cost?

yeh, i think ur spec same wit me... dothan 1.73, 1gb*1 ram. wat gc they using?? mine is
nv6600 128mb

You don't need to buy a kit. You can just buy 2 similar spec 1 gig RAM and then install it together. Not neccessary to buy a Kit of 2 because kits just package 2 similar RAM and sell it as one. You can expect to pay about RM 760 for 2gig RAM.

Btw, I am using 2.5 gb of ram now and gone are the days of hard disk thrashing and zero lagged which makes me feel good knowing that I have made the right decisions. Previously, I could be real pissed just waiting for the load time.

I basically think an upgrade should be in 2x1 gb ram. 1 gig per slot is the max so at least you don't have to trash your 2x256mb ram (assuming your system only have 512mb ram atm) in the near future when 1.5 gb ram becomes insufficient especially when games like BF2 is already using 1.4 gb.

Nah i'm thinking to purcahse a new pc.. so was just wondering should i save up and go with 2 gigs or just 1 gig first....

Quite a number of people I know are running 2GB for BF2... That game just sucks the juice out of many-a-system (yours truly included).

Corsair Shows Benefits of 2GB RAM

1.5 user here,,, OVERKILL ler!

BTW: 1.5 pun dunno how to use to max!

What kind of games do you play and what resolution and graphics setting are you playing them in?

From the Corsair PDF, 2GB will help tremendously in a few newer games. If you do not play them or still play Starcraft, even 512MB is sufficient.
