Question for Mac users - What RAM to get?
I have a Mac G5 (Dual 1.8ghz), it has 512mb of RAM. I want to add more...at least double it.
What should I do for max performance? I was thinking of adding 1 gig, but should I buy 2 512's or 1 one gig? WHats f4stAr?
ALso, whats the best nowdays? I think mine has the SDDR-RAM..actually I dont know, I just made that up :P
How much will this put me out of pocket? $200 is my budget.

2 gigs, damn! Did it make a difference? I have a ton of videos/pics/music stored (~140gigs) and its been feeling a bit sluggish lately.
Im hoping more ram would do the trick.

If I had a choice i'd get a 3500, I have a 1500 now with the small V8, but a 3500 with a cummings diesel would be sick.
