Is it worth upgrading the 1GB (2x512MB) of DDR PC2100 in my Dell box for 1GB (2x512MB) of DDR PC3200?

Would I notice any difference in speed?

I don't use this PC for gaming, just web and documents etc. :)

Thanks

LeeUK,

Probably not to be honest. I would've thought that due to the generation of chipset used in your dell (circa Intel 845G maybe?) as well as the FSB of the CPU used, chances are you wouldn't be able to make PC3200 RAM run at PC3200 speeds in your system. On the whole, it's not really worth it.

Hope that helps,

Mul

Yeah the chipset is 845G.
