RAM purchasing suggestions?

For the actual usage a media center isn't really worth it unless you spent tons of money on a huge tv and a proper audio setup.

I disagree.

My setup:
  • 27-inch Toshiba standard-def television
  • S-Video cable from desktop video card to TV
  • Speaker (3.5mm) out from PC to Aiwa stereo system (red/white component)
  • StreamZap remote with blue macro button configured to launch MediaPortal
  • MediaPortal
  • Several gigs of anime

For windows I usually just install cccp and use wmp. Then again I watch most of my downloads on my laptop (which is OSX). For the actual usage a media center isn't really worth it unless you spent tons of money on a huge tv and a proper audio setup.

I also disagree...I would say about 75% of the stuff I watch on TV was either downloaded or streaming from the internet...

My setup (italics are things different from yours):
  • 24-inch Toshiba standard-def television
  • S-Video cable from desktop video card to TV
  • Speaker (3.5mm) out from PC to Sony stereo system (red/white component)
  • iPod Touch remote with VLC App
  • VLC
  • Several gigs of anime

Very very similar to you Tek...

I need to figure out a cheap way to upgrade my desktop system from 768MB RAM to 2GB RAM.

My motherboard is an Epox 8KRAIPRO and takes DDR (not DDR2) PC3200 RAM.

Any chance some of the IT experts in our community have a box of old memory modules lying around with two 1GB sticks of DDR PC3200 RAM?

Nope. But they still sell it.

Orly?

Upgrading from 768MB to 1GB would still a performance boost, right? If so, might you be willing to part with your unused 512MB sticks for the cost of shipping? :D

Edit: Since Feb 2008 you still haven't bought the ram, Tek?

Two and a half years and I never could justify the $50 for the upgrade. I'd rather put that money toward a new, much (much) more powerful machine.
