This may sound like a stupid question to all you PC whizzes out there...

but how does upgrading memory work? if you have 512mb and you add 1gb,

do you have to take out the 512 or will you have 1.5gb?

thanks

Alright, Im currently in the market for a new computer, somewhere in the range of $1000-$2000, preferably with a monitor. Ive been looking at the Xps 410 for a good while as while as the new Mac pro, but the mac pro is to expensive unless anyone knows any special offers, or anything. Any suggestions on other good retailers fore longer-lasting upgradable computers that can hanlde games like Doom3, or the like? Special offers or deals would be very helpful as well. Thanks!

I have a pc desktop and wireless wrt54g Linksys router, I also have a Gateway pc laptop with a wire card. This system works great. My question is if I was to purchase a Macbook would my existing system still work? In otherwords can I be on the Macbook in the bedroom, my son be on the Gateway in his room and it all work at the same time through the router in the home office? Or would I have to buy a router that would switch between the two and one of us could only be online at once? Please advise.

I am upgrading most of my PC components and am wondering if I should also upgrade the PSU. Here is what I plan to upgrade to:



-Intel Pentium D 940 Presler 3.2GHz LGA 775 Dual Core

-ASUS P5NSLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Intel Edition ATX Intel Motherboard

-2GB of DDR2 667

-PNY VCG7600SXPB GeForce 7600GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card

-20GB 7200RPM PATA (IDE) hard drive

-100GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive

-Fan controller with small LED display. Controlling 2 LED 80mm fans and the CPU fan that comes with the CPU.

-DVD RW +/- Drive (IDE)

-CD RW drive (IDE)

-Floppy drive

-Wireless network PCI card

-LED case light

-USB: mouse, keyboard, Ipod, and flash drive.


That is my NEW configuration which I have not built yet. Will the Ultra V series 350W power supply (link below) work for the above configuration? If not, in your answer please give me a link to a new one (I prefer Newegg.com).
