RAM

[josephc at etards.net (josephc at etards.net)]

The Dimension 8100 uses RDRAM, and the 128MB chip it shipped with was only 
800mhz. RDRAM can be 3 times as much as DDR and I dont know of any places 
that sell 800mhz RIMMS. I would buy two 512/1066 chips, but expect to 
spend almost $400.

You can never have too much RAM
