I am in the process of restoring this older workstation. &nbsp;It has a PC Chips mother board - dont have the model number handy, but it is a socket 462, 2pci slots and 1agp slot. &nbsp;It also has 2 ram slots. &nbsp;My question is this - right now I have 1.5ghz of ram installed, running XP Pro, would it be beneficial to install another 512megs of ram. &nbsp;Right now I have a 1gig stick of PC3200 and a 512mb stick of PC3200. &nbsp;I could replace the 512mb stick with a 1gig stick, making 2gigs. &nbsp;Thanks

General Question

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
