ok .. been looking at getting some more memory
problem now looks like asus boards are very opinionated about the ddr they use
currently running 2 X 512 sticks cheapy from novatech http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...tml?RAM-40/512
as its just down the road ... easy rma's

but have been looking at http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...html?RAM-401GH

currently have a p4p800s-e on xp pro and a p5p800 on vista ultimate..

now do i run bf2 on the vista machine and get 2 gig of ram .. or get 1 meg and put it into the xp one...

such decisions
