I just added another gig of memory to my primary PC...
I purchased another 1GB stick of A-DATA DDR 400 from NewEgg. This stick was $5 less expensive than the first one and was shipped free. When everything else seems to be getting more expensive by the day, that was a nice surprise.
With the addition of the second stick (the maximum that the system can accommodate) that makes a matched pair for a total of 2GB. While I was at it, I reconfigured the system to allow auto determination of memory frequency (it had been fixed at 100MHz) and configured 4-Way interleaving (it had been set to no interleaving).
The system seems a bit zippier, but I won't go so far as to say the change is startling. I am also holding my breath a bit to see if it will be stable with the memory configuration changes.
I guess time will tell, but so far, it seems the investment was worth it. I will say that I believe this is the limit of my investments in this particular system in seeking additional performance for my primary PC. Next time I feel the need for (more) speed, I'm afraid I'll have to invest in a whole new system.
