Update: Received and installed the new RAM The difference is incredible. Dell sure screwed up selling that machine with only 512K, or at least I screwed up buying it. Highly recommend more RAM for anyone running Vista. Now sitting with 512K module. I have an older machine running XP...

Dell Dimension E521 I'll order an adapter when I order the video card just in case. Will any GeForce card work? Why the big difference in card prices? Boli and everyone: thanks I appreciate you taking the time
