    Just want to know what setup would be better

    1.5 gb pc2700 ram(2*512mb and 2*256mb)

    or

    1 gb PC3200 ram(2*512mb)

    I'm thinking the first one but I'm not too sure.

    I have 512mb(2*256mb) PC2700 atm, and was thinking of getting another gig. Should I replace the old stuff and use 1 gig of pc3200 or what?

    Thanks.

    It's best to stick with what you've got as there's little way to tell whether your board can support faster ram, in any case if it could, it would all have to slow down to the lowest speed so you'd have to pull the old stick.

    In terms of RAM speed its a bit of a red herring RAM is very fast by its nature so theres really toss-all to choose between them, the main reason why one usually buys extra RAM is to avoid having the system dump stuff into a hard-drive pagefile. THAT is slow.

    I would go for the 1.5 GB solution, especially if you want to do advanced stuff like play new games at full spec or graphics editing.
