Hmmm... Hard choice. Go for both? Or another 512 mb to get one more gb total and leave the cooler?

Get a different cooler! the thermaltake big typhoon http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=15812 is better than the new zalman. If 512 meg costs lest than 65 bucks CAD, then don't get it, its obviously a piece of crap.
If you need other alternative cheaper coolers, or good ram, say so.

in brazil we do not get good ram...at all, we only got generic crap, the good ram here is 5 times the price of the crap which is already overpriced and is extremely hard to find, as for the cooler i can only find it to be shipped overseas.
EDIT: as far as memory goes i found this kingston one at an affordable price: KVR400X64C3A/512

Did you even try OC'ing the processor? Stock coolers generally aren't good, but I got my old winnie to 2.5GHz on stock cooling with voltage increase. Even with my current processor I was getting 2.70GHz with stock cooling (though the stock cooling for this processor is nicer then most other AMDs)

I tampered with oc´ing this one and i got as far as 1.9ghz, the temp was ok, even if i try 2.0ghz however the machine reboots, i believe it is because of the lack of pci/agp lock on my mobo because the temp was fine, being like that i guess more ram will be the best choice, any more suggestions?

i totally agree with that :
if you want to o/c you need good quality RAM and dual RAM is always the best so 512Mo is not a good idea.
also, athlon dont like differente RAM type like PC2100 + PC2300 on the same mobo, i dont really know why but it's not good for the proc and slow it.
you should take a cooler, there are some not too expensive and of good quality.
i didnt o/c my pc yet so i dont know a lot about but you can take a look at that
1,5 Go RAM will be useless.Clements said:

you should increase the voltage i think and you will need the cooler.

Thank you, but no, thank you.
I found out that my wife went on my things yesterday and it seems that i got left only one pair of shoes, so it´s shoe-shopping then.
If a mod wants to close this one, i´ll be "shoe" busy to object.
What a lame ass joke.

Like I said, its cheap ram, I also said 65 Bucks CAD, as in, Canadian Dollar. Cheap ram to me, and everyone who knows computers, has high latency times and doesn't overclock well/handle loads well.Chibi Nick said:
