D900 RAM upgrade

Sup guyz,
Since i only have 2 gigs.. and this baby maxes out at 4 gigs, i figure this is an upgrade that rele wont change in the future, so i mine as well do it now. I figure it will help with vista and gaming, and programs, cuz ill be doing a thousand things at once anyway. So i was looking at RAM on newegg and places... wats a good price for 2x2gb ddr2 800 ram? also, does any1 know specifically on this machine (which is why i posted here rather than hardware thread) how it is to change the RAM. I basically want to know how it will work with the heatsink being arctic silvered to the CPU. Because to change ram, will i then have to remove the solidified AS, clean it off with the special cleaner and then reapply it, just to get to the RAM?

 

Depends, maybe somebody will come out with a 4GB So-DIMM next year, who knows, so you can max out at 8GB. I'd say 2GB is good for a while. It's like my XP with 1GB, good for a while, that I don't need 2GB or 4GB yet. Just my 2 cents.

I might go 4GB during this holiday season anyway. Can't help it. LOL.

 

I don't know if the BIOS will let you. I know the Intel 965 chipset can address 8GB but I don't know if the BIOS would let you. If you use only XP stay with 2GB, if you use Vista go with 4GB. Unless you can find good quality ram for cheap then go ahead, it can't hurt.
