I am getting a new computer. Most of the time, I would be using it to surf web, msn with antivirus running in backgrd. Sometimes I would play Warcraft3, Knight Online and I tot, WOW, with this new comp. I also use dreamweaver and photoshop 9.0. I also intend to use it for Windows Skin.
I have 128MB ATI X300SE card also....would 2GB helps to compensate the video card?

no, 2GB of main memory will not compensate the relatively slow X300SE card. a 1GB main memory and e.g. a Nvidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 (atm pretty cheap) would do the job much better.

The answer to this is the same as "is x too much money?"
Much like you can never have too much money, you can never have too much RAM. The more the merrier. If your machine can support 2GB, go for it.

2GB of RAM would be good if you are fond of running a lot of programs (especially demanding ones like games and antivirus) all at once, like me.

The more RAM, the better. On your new computer, consider 800FSB
Good luck

At least you use pentium D proccesor and it will feel better. Because if you use old proccesor I think it will overheat.

It sounds fine to me if you have a motherboard and cpu to support it.

2GB seems to be the maximum for XP:
