BTW, I wanted to add that it's a good thing to buy ram when it's cheap. I tend to think that prices are lower just before there are no more (obsolete). I remember that I stayed stuck with an old 48 Mo EDO machine because there where no more EDO ram available at a decent price. So one can wait to buy more ram, but there is a time when it must be done. cheers all.
