Default Memory upgrade

My system is about a year old now, and I thought a nice Christmas present for myself would be a memory upgrade.

I am going to upgrade my video card also in about 4 - 6 months. Probably a x800 pro.

My system...

A7N8X Deluxe
AMD Athlon XP Barton 2800
Corsair Value Select VS256MB400 x 2
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3009020


I have OC'd the CPU just a little, basically upped the FSB to 400MHz. The CPU identifies as an AMD 3200 in all the benchmarking programs and CPU ID programs that I run. My system is very stable, runs cool and is my first home built rig. Really want to buy the video card first, but the checkbook says memory, then video card.

I would like 1meg of RAM, single stick.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

TCCD memory all the way .

Although I would suggest to upgrade your mobo + cpu to an A64 setup.... Your current video card would benefit from it.

I think it's going the be hard to find a 1gig stick with some descent chips on it (like tccd).
I'd go for 2*512Mb and use it in dual channel mode
