[QUOTE=FlashStock;31310952]256MB[/QUOTE] Thank you! For future reference, how can you tell? [QUOTE=FlashStock;31310952]probably 512MB.[/QUOTE] ?
[QUOTE=Donutsalad;31310982]Thank you! For future reference, how can you tell? ?[/QUOTE] Apparently it's 1GB [url]http://www.provantage.com/centon-electronics-cmp400pc1024-01~7CNTN032.htm[/url] Anyway you should look at the chips, a lot of the time they say how much memory is on them.
I've never bought a turntable before, and seeing as though I've already invested into a petty high line sound system, what turntable should I get?

The DIMM has 8 chips on each side. 8 x 64mb is 512mb, so there is 512mb on each side, equaling 1024mb or (1gb) for each card. Ah shit! :eng101:

I am planning on buying a new GPU from Evga B-Stock and I am stuck between a GTX 480 and GTX 570 The GTX 480 is $220 and the 570 is $250 For the little extra cost is it worth it to buy the GTX 570 because I know they perform close to the same.
Quick ram question: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20632/271891_10150386824917571_688327570_10291489_4089867_o.jpg[/img] [sp]ignore the speed it's running at 1600[/sp] I'm rma'ing my ram, only problem is that they came as a paired set. If it swapped the one dimm that's broken could I see any problems from mismatching the pair with the new dimm? I only ask because it said so on the corsair site on the rma screen, but if the one that I get is the same type/speed/etc I can't see it being a problem?

Hi, I was going to get a computer for my birthday but we can't afford it. My dad suggested we buy it over time and I was just wondering since it is over time how can I improve these parts by about a total of $200-$300? Thanks.
