Since I may be able to get a refund on my blown up PSU, I need to find another way to spend the 40 quid!

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/spec ... CSR-X642G5 (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?CSR-X642G5)

Is this suitable?

Or maybe this http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/spec ... GEL-BD642G (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?GEL-BD642G)

My PC is the Isys EX PRO, atm it has 660mhz stock ram, x2 1GB sticks, which is shite!

Me too. You only have two slots, and your memory is still going to clock at DDR2-533 speed with a E2180 on a 945 chipset. You'll hardly see any difference from a bit lower latency.

Unless you overclock... :D

No the difference between 533 667 800 isn marginal if noticable at all, but the difference between 2 and 4 gig is far more noticable when running more than 1 app, my next build will include the 4g of geil black dragons, god £130 for 8g of decent ram never thought i'd i'd see myself saying that! :shock:
For vista 64 users that has to be very tempting.
