    I don't trust rebates. If I ever get them back, whoo-hoo, other wise, I'll just sit on my bum..

    So what you are saying is that I could run the games smoothly but the game would not look so good?

    If thats the case then I will get 1 GB RAM.
    I can get a video card later.

    Yes, it would look crappy.

    But I COULD run the game smoothly with 1 GB but just crappy GFX right.

    Why play Source if you're not playing for the graphics? I mean.. that's the whole difference between 1.6 and Source, source is just better graphics, 1.6 is where the skill begins.

    Thank you for answering my question.

    my CPU would not be able to support a better GFX card. I would also need a better power supply and better cooling and probably a new case.
    I think getting 1 GB RAM is the best I can do with this PC.
    Doing all that would be like getting a whole new PC. I dont have that money,
    And 1 GB is the most it can support.

    There is nothing in the 2nd slot.

    Just RAM for now.

    I can't remember what cpu you said you have, but any cpu should take a 5500. My Semperon 2800 could take it...
