Computer "Upgrading"

[Redundant]

I'm pretty sure you can only use ONE type of RAM at a time: either DDR or DDR2.

If worst comes to worst, I'll just sell the RAM to someone or hold onto it for future use. Do they sell 1.5gb DIMMs of RAM? 3gb sounds good to me, although it might could be overkill, but you never know... especially if you're possibly getting a new OS soon.

EDIT: Well, on the bright side of all this:
1: I don't need to overclock (at least for a while).
2: I can upgrade to PCIe with the mobo I have if I ever need to.
3: This mobo is easy to take whatever parts are around and slap them in there (it has 4 PCI, an AGP, a PCIe x16, 2-184pin RAM slots, 2-240pin RAM slots, a Socket LGA-775 socket (yeah, redundant, I know), and onboard LAN, 4 USB 2.0 ports, and sound card.)

Oh man, I just played Halo on this beast and it was GREAT! I'm enjoying this thing... but now to stop procrastinating, I'ma call Microsoft and get this activation problem resolved... let's hope they're reasonable (although they're probably not).

EDIT: Wow... that was... ahem, That Was Easy. Heh, Staples... well, at least I can understand Indian accents and they are reasonable about it, here's how it went:

1. Go through automated crap.
2. OMFG, it didn't work, I totally didn't expect that (durr).
3. Connect with Microsoft "Representative."
4. Indian woman asks why I need to reactivate.
5. I tell her.
6. She tells me long ass 54 digit number that would look nice on a paycheck, but not anywhere else.
7. I have the nice day she tells me to have.
8. Post results on TBCS.
