    My mom's computer (cont.)

    See the thing with ram is that usually, the higher the clock speeds the higher the latency. According to some sites, they believe that in most cases ddr2 800 will outperform ddr 1066 and produce less heat, consume less power, and be more stable. Until we see ram chips clocked at 1066 with...

    My mom's computer (cont.)

    Personally, i would stick with the 800, because even with the 1066 the performance improvement is minimal thanks to higher latencies on the actual ram chips. Also 1066 has give me so much trouble. I don't believe in it anymore.

    Cheap PCs?

    well, most of the time manufacturers will put good cpus and a nice amount of ram for a cheap price. However they are able to do this thanks to their 35 dollar PSUS that they put in there. I would tell you to tell your teacher to build his own. If not just be prepared to deal with the chance of...

    Which way should I steer my mom...

    I honestly think that not upgrading the HD is dumb. An HD is not dumb, and we aren't even sure if that hd that he has will work with a new MOBO.

    ps3 performance equivalent to.. ?

    Well; you are partly correct. However, all the chips in the PS3 XBOX360 are based, if not the exact same on computer counterparts. The PS3'S RSX chip is based on the 7800GTX chip, or g71 i believe. It has similar architecture, and performance.

    Which way should I steer my mom...

    I would personally go with ddr2 800mhz, because i've had nothing but problems with 1066 ram. Other than that i mean you should be set. However, since it is for your mom, i would suggest that you spend less on the hardware of the pc itself, and spend more on a nice monitor or something like that...
