I have a new build HTPC which is running fine, currently running 2Gb of OCZ special ops edition RAM on Vista 32 bit.
As RAM appears to be dirt cheap atm I was debating if it was worth acquiring a further 2x 512Mb matched banks of RAM of similar timings to bring the total upto 3Gb.
At the minute the machine is only used as a HTPC (SD) and a bit of surfing. Longer term plans are a HD drive of some sort and a better graphics card when funds (and boredom - may then start a bit of gaming) allow.
Current spec:
E6600
P5N-E SLi MoBo
Geforce 8500 passive GPU - PCI-E
2x1Gb RAM
PCI-e x1 WiFi
tuners etc.
Any general opinions, worth it or not?
