why is it twice as much to ship a 1GB SD memory card than a 512K card?

We all know just how much those 0 bits weigh.  Maybe you should drive to the local computer/video store to get the card instead.

No it is not a problem.  You prob have an onboard video card that is using that memory.  Most likely the video card is 32MB, but there is a slight chance that it could be 64MB card, but its only using half of its resources.  A good way to tell is go to the manufacturers website and look up your model number.  Usually they divide up the components so just look under the video category and it should tell you the size.  If its 32MB then that is most likely your issue.

I did some research because I'm faced with the exact same ponderance. For me, the best answer is the ATI X1600 PRO 512 MB AGP card. *I THINK* \n\nBoth the ATI website and the Best Buy website would sell it to me for $299. Newegg.com sold it to me for $139. In a fit of hindsight, since I have time to kill waiting for it to be delivered, I'm looking into what it takes to install the card once it gets here and if I can do it myself or will I have to pay more to get someone to do it correctly. The thing I love about PC games is that the kind of people who are hardcore Gamers are not known to be the most jobful people in the world, yet computer games and parts are among the most astronomically priced things you can buy... TODAY. Tomorrow, the part you just paid upwards of $697 for can be found on the floor of Big Lots swept into a corner because no one would be willing to be seen holding it. \n\nThe Newegg website tells me I have approximately 5 days left before I can expect delivery of my card. If I install it without frying my PC I'll come back and tell you, otherwise you'll read about "Crazed Incoherent Man Shoots at Graphics Card Manufactuer Employee, Self" on the bottom of the back page of the last section of your local paper in 6 days.

USB 1.1 is slow.\n\nUSB 2.x is much, much faster.\n\nI'm not a computer geek, but it sounds like you would have to replace the 1.1 card.

1GB = 1024MB As simple as that. NOT a 1000!!

what ever one is on sale that has the storage you need.  There is little to nothing you will notice between the brands.  I would go with at least 300gb, or it can fill up way to fast

dont use ur old stuff unless its ddr2 ... if its older than 6 months it isnt ... dont mix the types or you'll slow everything down , just add another 512 if you have a SINGLE stick, and check out the site the guy above mentioned to get the same speed memory ... if you have two sticks of mem now they are 256 each and most likely in dual channel configuration ... in that case i would get the same speed memory but buy (2) 512s' or (2)1gig sticks ... if you break up a pair of sticks in dual channel or add a third you will slow things down also ...

If you're adding to your current memory, you'd have 512mb plus whatever you already have in there.

1Gb = 1,024Mb.\n1Mb = 1,024kb.

There is no difference. \n\nHowever, if you get two sticks, and there is a chance that one of your RAMS goes bad, then at least you have another one that will be a nice backup.\n\nIf you get just 1 stick, then it gives you the option of upgrading to 2 gigs in the future....otherwise you will have to pay for another 1 gig ram all over again. \n\nIf you have 4 slots, then get the 2 sticks if it saves you money.

Yes\nThe cards themselves dont come in 512, they come in 256 Tops, but some of the 256 cards can use your RAM as memory for the card and allocates it to make the card 512.\nhttp://www.newegg.com\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com\n\n\nIf you are looking for a good graphics card for pci, let me know, I have used quiete a few and I can tell you whats good and whats not.

not necssary , but u have to add multiple capacities , means , another 1 GB , or 512*3 , u cant add 256 to 1 GB

I think you answered your question without even realizing it.  You can install pc2700 ddr memory.  It is also known as DDR333.  The link is to Newegg, 512mb starts at $45 shipped.  Much cheaper than  Best Buy, Circuit City etc...\n\nSome people will tell you to only buy the expensive brands, but I have never noticed a problem with the lesser known brands.  Look for lots of reviews, it is usually a good indication of a well liked product.\n\nI would suggest checking to see if you computer will support 1gb (probably) and purchase that.  512mb is fine for WinXP but 1gb makes it hum right along.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nJust a note, you cannot use DDR2.  It is not physically the same, the slots the memory installs in are different configurations.

Well 256 USED to be the minimum for Windows XP. 512 is the new minimum for Windows XP with Service Pack II. While most people tell you to get 512, I personally would recomend geting 1024 MB (A gigabyte). I mean you'll do fine with 512 MB but 1 GB would last longer, as it says in an earlier reply, and you can do a whole lot more things. Besides, computers you see in BestBuy have atleast 512, but most have 1GB. 1 GB is becoming the new standard. I wont even get into the /type/ of RAM out there because you didnt ask. Or just get a new computer and have everything running fast.

here's a perfect example of why 110 characters is not enough, lol.\n\ni think it's not unreasonable, even if you have already purchased the music, to expect to pay for it again. from the artist's point of view, you are buying two different products.  from yours, you're only buying one performance but paying for it two times.  it depends on whose perspective you are using, and of course you are using yours. unfortunately for you, the record company has the final say. \n\nlet's say you want to paint your bedroom beige.  after finishing the job, you decide no, you like blue better.  would you expect the paint store to not charge you for the blue paint?  after all you already HAD a painted wall.  in the same sense, you already HAVE the music, you are just looking to get it in another form. maybe you feel cheated if you had the cassette long before you thought you'd ever buy the cd.  i think you should pay, but i get the sense from your wording that you don't feel that way.\n\nps::: i sympathize with your inability to return an opened cd.  i had the same thing happen with a software game i purchased...not enough memory in the old compaq to make it run right.  now i know, still p*ssed, but enlightened.

Always figure you get roughly 7% less than the rated storage amount. \n\nManufacturers decided to rate most drive capacities based on the standard base 10 numbers we are all familiar with, but the actual measurments are in base 2.\n\nTherefore, one Megabyte equals one million bytes while one Gigabyte equals one billion bytes. This isn't too much of a problem with fairly small numbers such as a Kilobyte, but each level of increase in the prefix also increased the total discrepancy of the actual space compared to the advertised space.\n\nHere is a quick reference to show the amount that the actual values differ compared to the advertised for each common referenced value:\n\n    * Megabyte Difference = 48,576 Bytes\n    * Gigabyte Difference = 73,741,824 Bytes\n    * Terabyte Difference = 99,511,627,776 Bytes \n\nBased on this, for each Gigabyte that a drive manufacturer claims, they are over reporting the amount of disk space by 73,741,824 Bytes or roughly 70.3 MB of disk space. So, if a manufacturer advertises an 80 GB (80 billion bytes) hard drive, the actual disk space is around 74.5 GB of space, roughly 7% less than what they advertise.

SD memory cards are based on the older MMC card format.  SD cards mostly are slightly thicker than MMC cards.  SD cards tend to have higher transfer rates.  MMC cards in most cases can be used in devices that support SD cards.
