Q. I have only 1GB in my computer which is almost 2 years old. But I've heard of some computers that have HUGE amounts of memory.
Also, what's the maximum processor that's available? (I only have Dual Core 1.8GHz haha, and I play online games)

A. Unless your motherboard is junk, your dual core Intel E series cpu will address 4GB under 32 bit Windows. A 64 bit build will address 12 GB in dual channel mode. However, your question was, "What is the maximum amount of RAM you can have in a PC at this moment in time?". The answer to that is in excess of 40 GB depending upon the setup. In a PC running Linux, the bios does not determine maximum memory. It is strictly a hardware issue. Mac OS X, which is a form of Debian Linux will use all of the memory you can throw at it. I have 32 GB in my 8 core Mac Pro. I have a Linux machine using a $75.00 motherboard, a 2.2ghz dual core & 16 GB ram. Gaming is phenomenal on this machine.
One last thing to remember: if you have a frame buffering AGP video card, especially a small one, your system RAM is going to take a huge hit. Fire up one of those online games, and open your system monitor. See how much FREE memory you have. You may need a vid card, and not more system memory. Cheers!

Should i have two video cards in my comp at the same time?
Q. I have a Radeon 9800 SE card (in my AGP slot) and a Radeon 9250 (in one of the PCI slots).
My friend says I shouldn't have both of these in the same time, but i really don't think it doesnt cause that much trouble.
Whos right?
but just for one computer
im not looking for extra monitors

A. It's not going to hurt your computer, but it's not really helping anything either. Typically if you have two video cards your looking for increase in performance or multi monitor setups. Since you're not looking for multi monitors having two boards will not benefit you greatly. Putting an AGP board in a computer next to a PCI board is only going to really be useful if your main video card dies on you; because you will have a backup.
If you're looking to do some serious gaming and want two boards you'll need to look into some newer hardware that can take advantage of having two vid cards.

is a good place to start doing some research on multi video card systems.
