i really need help, i tried to read ram 101 but didnt understand most of it. i have an nvidea geforce fx 5500 graphics card, 256 mb. im trying to get more ram at the time because i play counter strike alot and i only have 448 mb of ram. how do i figure out my motherboard so i can find what ram works for it
 
it says this for motherboard, i dont understand any of this:

It looks like that board only has 2 slots for RAM. It uses PC-2700/PC3200 and supports up to 2GB of RAM (1GB per slot).
 
thanks alot chrome well.
you see, i play counter strike so i always try to have my fps as high as possible.
but if i can ask one more question,
ok fps is frames per second and alot of stuff factors in it(if im correct),
i have like 35gb hard drive memory left,
and an nvidia geforce 5500fx 256 mb card,
and 512 ram.
(plus a good internet connection)
should i upgrade ram to increase fps, or get a better graphics card?

Click to expand...

A mix of both would increase your performance specially the graphic card, do you have a budget?

Edit: what would be the amount of your power supply so we know what graphic card suggest
 
well im getting 150$ soon, but i didnt want to spend it all on upgrading my comp.
cuz my graphics card costed like 100$ :(

and what do you mean by power supply? how do i find that out?

Open up your case and look for a about 5 inch squared box in the back and top. Somewhere it should say the manufacturer and model #.. Tell us that.
