I have done some looking around, and it seems I can go 3 ways: 1) Remove the pair of 256m chips and put in 2 512m chips 2) Remove the pair of 256m chips and put in a 1G chip. 3) Remove one of the 256m chips and put in a 1G chip. Would that work to give me 1.25G? I can get them from Crucial for about $50 for the two 512M chips or about $41 for a 1G chip. About the same from Kingston. Somewhat cheaper from Newegg, and still cheaper on ebay (looking only at the ones marked "new".) I think I will avoid ebay. Can I expect any problems from Newegg, or should I go the extra $ from Crucial or Kingston? Any other suggested dealers? -- Rich Greenberg Sarasota, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 941 378 2097 Eastern time. N6LRT I speak for myself & my dogs only.
