You can put 2GB of ram in them (2x512DDR+2X512DDR2), but then you lose the DDR2 dual core functionality. I can't say accurately if that is better than just 1GB working in dual. --------- The observation sounds like an important one but one that is frankly too sophisticated for me to know the answer to. Could you tell me if that such is the case based on the description of the system that is described at: http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/dimen_e521?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19 I was going to buy 2 gig of RAM for increased functionality but for you to say I could: .............. lose the DDR2 dual core functionality ............. leaves me not knowing what to do. Also, there is a lot of talk of the AMDs being mostly for games and "running hot" but that Intels are expensive and more for applications. I am running an AMD Athalon right now and it seems ok. Do you have views on this? Thanks for your time. Country Boy Loading...
