    Your power supply should be fine for the X800XL. It draws ~10W more than my 6800. I also got my RDram from zipzoomfly and like the other poster said, it's expensive everywhere.

    I also have a Dimensions 8250, and increased my memory from 512MB to 1GB.

    But since I made the change, I have noticed no peformance increase whatsoever.
    Maybe I was thinking more RAM would make my computer boot faster, or be a little
    quicker with apps, but nothing really exciting happened.  It was the same as before.

    This is what I got:
    2 SAMSUNG 256MB PC1066 32NS
    16BIT 184 PIN 533MHZ
    RAMBUS RDRAM

    Just a note. I have a Dimension 8250 and went from 512MB to 1GB and notice no increase at all.

    Yeah, depends on what you're using it for. 512MB is still okay. 1GB can prevent disk thrashing if you use a lot of programs at once, and is good for newer games.
