If you have the money, go for a larger amount since 256 isn't a lot. If you don't have enough money, save up. If I snuck a 256 stick of ram in your computer while you were sleeping you probably wouldn't even realize it.
so there will be no diff upgrading to 1GB?henri1960
If you already have 768, it's nearly as good (from my experience, though I can't imagine others' experiences being completely different). Depending on your setup, I'd go for as much as up to 2GB right now. Still lots of factors.. what types of games you're playing, exactly what you're doing, etc.
I want to upgrade to 1gb of ram before hl2 ep2 comes out. My specs are P4 2.4Ghz and x1650PRo. My pc can max out cs source, hl2, episode one, so I want to make sure that my pc will be able to max ep2 too and for Crysis. that's y I am upgrading to 1gb.

My old P4 2.0ghz 768 (they have the same ram :o) with its FX5500 also could max HL2, CS:S, but i doubt it could run crysis.
dont just buy a 256mb stick save a litte more and get a 1gb stick because if you want to upgarde ram even more later then all slots will be full so get a 1gb stick not another 256
TBH that PC is quite poor... Really you should aim for 2GB for todays games, but the rest of the parts let it down anyway.
If I were you, I would save up until you have got enough money and sell your PC and build a new one. You can get a lot of power for a fairly low budget now, especially after 22nd July (Intel price drops..)
