Is it possible to add 3 1gb sticks of ram for a pc?

If you have 3 or more slots, and your motherboard supports at least 3GB, then yes.

thx for the quick reply
Why are there many different brands when purchasing the same video card? For example, the 7900gtx is made by eVGA, ASUS, XFX, etc.

i never really understood that either, you would think they would all just be the same card, but in a different box

I've heard that ATi and nVidia aren't allowed to produce the cards themselves, only the GPU. And since there are so many third-party manufacturers there is competition between the brands which forces them to lower prices which is good for us consumers.

That is a good thing too. I have seen the prices of a 7900GTX drop since I bought it a couple of weeks ago. That sort of makes me sad, but that seems to be the trend with computer parts. Something new comes along, the outdated stuff drops in price.
