i am thinking of replace my RAM,but wich ram should i pick? 2GB Corsair ram or an 4GB Kingston ram?MAXimumGTR
Also consider the speed of the RAM (the faster the better). 800Mhz is pretty fast (ideal). And more RAM is better. Kingston and Corsair are both good makers of RAM (but I don't know much about RAM).
As someone said they are good makes, its all up too how much you want to spend on it. If you get 4Gb ram you would not have to upgrade it in a long time.
Corsair is definitely nice ram, but if you go with 4 GB of ram then you won't have to upgrade for a very long time. Also checking out other specifications such as bus speed will make the decision easier, the higher the MHZ the better, Kingston also is a good choice for RAM as well.
yup, 2 GB is enough, 4GB is just way more than enough. consider the speed of the memory like the other guy said 800MHz is good, watch out for 533Mhz and 400Mhz
Depending on the mobo you can, but you are really not doing anything. The faster ram will be downgraded and clocked to the same speed as the slower ram. Very few mobo's can do that anyways...
So in laymans terms then im better off sticking with pc2700 ddr ram then? whats the difference between buffered/unbuffered, registered/unregistered?
Its a complete minefield buying new memory for a pc, much more complicated than i first thought:?

Yes, either stick to what you already have in there, or upgrade all your modules. Also, check out wikipedia (or other web site) to get info on the specifics of hardware. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registered_memory
