Hi,
Started using flight sim 2004 only got 512 mb ram so i need more, been to ****** to check out that they say and this is what i got
Maximum Memory Capacity: 3072MB
Currently Installed Memory: 512 MB
Available Memory Slots: 2
Number of Banks: 3
Dual Channel Support: No
CPU Manufacturer: AuthenticAMD
CPU Family: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2500+ Model 10, Stepping 0
CPU Speed: 1833 MHz
When using DDR400 (PC3200) the system supports a maximum of 2 banks of memory, when using DDR333 (PC2700) the system supports a maximum of 4 banks of memory. A single DIMM will either have 1 or 2 banks of memory.
and i think i got the DDR PC2700 type.

Whats it worth me buying in your opinions, should i just do a cheep up grade to 1gig and save up for a whole new system or go for a 2.5 -3 gig upgrade?
TIA

im not 100%certain but tyhink it refers to maximum memeroy per bank soo if each stick canhave 2 banks one each side you cant have more than 512mb on each side making them 1gb sticks.

as you allredy have some meory it would be ideal if you could get another peice the same to use with it.
