Thanks for the suggestion.
After scanning, we're burning to DVD because of limited disk space at this
time.
Most of the photos we're doing in tiff.
What do you suggest?
Hope folks don't mind we're getting off subject.. ;)

Be prepared to eat up drive space
once you start scanning those photos.
And as you most likely already know
you should not save a scanned photo in
jpg format as it is compressed and loses
image quality. Worse yet, open a jpg image,
edit/touch up the photo and resave as jpg
and there goes some more image quality.

That's what this system is used for, scanning.
I donated it to our local Historical Society, which I'm the Prez.
We stated a project to scan 'several' old photos, docs and start a data
base of the old documents.
It's a older Biostar MB with a AMD Sempron 2600+(1.83Ghz) processor with
a 80 gig HD so the added memory should help it out some. We have WinXP,
DVD, Office 2k, PSPro, Nero, DVD burner and a USB scanner.
It's got an AGP 64meg video card which may be our next upgrade.
Being a 'normal' HS, we don't have the funds to purchase the latest and
greatest.
Several of our members have boxes of computer junk laying around so we've
done pretty good with upgrading this system. So far, it hasn't cost us
anything but some time. It's a good learning experience also, with you
and everyone elses help/suggestions.

Unless you using some type of high end application
any additional memory will go to waste. I have 2GB
in one of my systems, but I do photo scanning and editing.

Sure did.
I'm looking around for another 1gb DDR400 to match the one in it but so
far, so good.
Seems stable enough.
Thanks for everyones help/suggestions.

update.
Finally caught the Post(startup) after 3 resets and it's reporting
dual channel.
Guessing the MB is ok with different size and speed of sticks.
Go figure.......

Thanks. I installed the 1gb stick and the system is picking it
up(start-CP-system) but not sure how to check on dual channeling...
May have goofed as I installed in slot A (1gb) and slot B (512)
instead of using the 2 slot B's..
Should I change it?

Dual channel usually requires "Matched" pairs
of memory. Different brands or different sizes
will most likely cause a fall back to single channel.
So use the first two slots as your two sticks are
not matched.

Hey, sorry guys. I didn't mean to spark an argument here. I stated
that this may not be the 'best' newsgroup to ask the question but
I figured it would be an easy answer for those on here.
Two points that may concern hardware was whether WinXP would
function ok with the different type of stick installed. I have
noticed a slow down with only one 512 stick operating which does
affect the operation of my WinXP system. Plus my MB instructions
suggests "For Dual-channel DDR (128-bit) high performance, at
least 2 or more DIMM modules must be installed." That's the reason
for asking if I can install two different sticks. Otherwise I'd
just install the 1meg(DDR400) and take out the 512(DDR333).
I'm still not sure is installing the two stick will give me the
128-bit if there are different size.
Anyway, sorry if I ruffled your feather Mr. Smith.

One of my 512 memory stick went out. System only recognizes 512
instead of
1gb. To check I took it out and tried it in another system- no
go.
Here's the question and I know it's probably not correct
newsgroup but
should be simple answer for you sys gurus. :)
The sticks are ddr333, 512meg, 184 pin. I have a extra ddr400,
1gb, 184 pin
stick.
The instruction for the MB says up to 4 gig and ddr333.
Will the ddr400 work w/o messing up system?
Why ask here? Your question has nothing to do with with OS (you
did
notice the letters X and P preceeding the word Hardware in the
group
title, right?)
========================================================
Dear Mr Smith,
What part of XP is hardware?
Please enlighten me as to what kind of posts should be in this
newsgroup?
