I think about  2 x 1 gb DDR2, 320 GB sata
Well can you help me to make my choice?

id go for some more Ram, 2 gigs should be good.

2 gigs in Dual channel would be great.




either that or a new processor, P4's are all kinda slow now.

E6600's just blow away the competition. There is no downside to an E6600.

It just romps the competition, just pure awesomeness

Your comp seams fine so if you don't need more HD space right now you could use your money on some more ram but imo it isn't needed.

Kingston!

I'd suggest go buying something non-computer related, your computer seems fine.
