RAM Upgrades
I just did some upgrading to my system ram on my desktop and laptop. On my desktop I just added another 512 stick for a new total of 1.25g. The notebook got the big upgrade, I replaced one of the 256 sticks with a 1g stick for a new total of 1.25g. The notebook is running great in dual channel mode. I can tell a diffrence in performance but not a huge diffrence because it's still new with not much stuff running. The desktop increase is not noticeable yet but I'm sure after some photoshoping I'll be enjoying it. I picked up all this ram, as well as a 100 pack of dvd-r's from Newegg for under 200 bucks. A pretty solid deal.

Technically you're not running in dual channel. You need two of the same size and speed sticks of RAM in order to do that. you may be running two sticks of RAM but thats not dual channel...
I have 4x512mb of the EXACT same RAM, thats dual channel. Running a 1gb and a 256 is not.
You know, I thought the same thing, but for some reason it's being read as dual channel. I know others with the 9300 have said the same thing about their upgrades. Either way I can tell a huge diffrence.
