[color=66ff00]I got my RAM today as well, now my machine is up and running woot!

Got me a 2500 Barton XP, NF7 mobo, 512megs of 2700 DDR and one of those nifty Aero 7 CPU coolers.
And it's all housed in a very cool, purple chieftec dragon case. :)

It's only got a Geforce 2 MX right now so you definetly one upped me on the GFX card. ;)

Anyhow, congrats and celebrations all around. :nod:

That is 2 256Mb sticks of decent, CAS2, PC2700 operating in dual channel, right?

It's especially important if he's using the IGP (which, judging from the description, I think he is.) as the IGP gets a nice performance boost from using dual channel RAM, particularly if it's PC3200 but even PC2700 RAM should be enough to get some decent results (compared with other integrated video solutions, naturally).
