Also replace both of them! Put the old ones in the bin if your issues have gone away. Also have you replaced your power supply?

What issues were/are you having?

I just threw out 3GB of PC400 RAM :)

It was Kingston - had it for around 3yrs I suppose no drama.

My comp was 2004 vintage I suppose.
So old, I could only put an AGP graphics card in it [smilie=laugh[2].gif]

Have a new rig now( MBR failure on previous HDD so I decided to get new box rather than replace HDD). Going good.

Here is what is in it (pricing Aussie dollar)
Case - ANTEC 900 - $175
PSU - ANTEC ATX TruePower 650W Trio - $137
MB - Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS4P - $199
CPU - Intel E8500 Core2Duo 3.16Ghz - $289
RAM - Corsair DDR2 1066 2GB - $76.00
VC - ASUS EAH4850 512mb DDR3 PCIe2.0 - $239
HDD - Samsung 750GB SATAII - $176
Total - $1291.00

Parts I used from old comp
FDD & DVD/CD Drive
Keyboard - ZBoard MERC
Mouse - Razer Death Adder
Monitor - Phillips 19"LCD 190B (pro series) Zero dead pixel warranty for 3 years
