I have a Gateway 500S that I'm trying to upgrade the memory on. I saw some memory cards on Pricewatch.com (512 MB) for around $50-70. But as I was doing some research, I found that you need to make sure you are purchasing the correct chipset (I believe) otherwise the memory card will not work. I think my computer takes a 32MBx8x64 chipset, but Gateway could not tell me this information. Am I talking about something else when I refer to chipset? What do I need for a memory card? Also, I may possibly get a new Hard Drive/Motherboard in the near future. Can I change the HD w/out changing the M-board? Should I wait on the memory until I get the HD/M-board? Thanks.
