    Hi fellas, I've just been over to the Crucial site to check wether i can use 3200 400mhz memory instead of 2700 333mhz and it said it could! one thing it also said was that my system supported up to 4096mb of ram what does this mean? will there be 2gb sticks of memory coming out in the future? if so can i utilise it? as alway's thanks in advance for any help!. :)

    Yes, 2GB sticks exist now, but they're cost prohibitive.

    Thanks Brian, by the way, knowing that there is 2GB sticks out there is there any practical use for 4GB in my system? in either present or future applications? one last question how much are we talking about for the 2GB sticks? i.e would 1 2GB be cheaper than 2 1GB sticks? once again thanks for your time.

    No and no, they're more expensive per MB at this point and your machine won't make much use of it unless you're into some really hard core stuff.
