I'd pay $692 for it, but I think it can handle better memory, 800 is what I run in my old Dell. Not saying it won't run CS or WoW or other games, just that you can go up a few levels for the same price.

do you mean 800 as in speed of some sort?
it really doesnt matter for me couse I have a 3 year old dell dimension that can barely load css at this point any upgrade would be great my current ram is 512 mb

[Mr.Bob]

Yes, speed.

I use Mushkin ram. They are local to me so I never pay shipping. I recommend them to anyone and it's all I ever use. However, use who you find is the best and try to use that same company anytime you add to the machine, also use the same model and size if you can. Mixed or unmatched ram can kill a system's performance.
