>maybe you can give me an advice: is it worth 200-300$ to upgrade to 2 GB memory?
>would this help, or only "speed" is important in this computer for me now?


2 GB is only good for very long analysis. Very long is meaning: hours for only
one position.

But also then is would be better to buy a faster CPU for that Money. A CPU is
for Chess the better scaling part.

Meaning: Hash is very important, but twice hash size don't help you twice like
it would be by the CPU-Speed.

For Example: 2,4 GHz+ 2 GB Hash is as good as 2,6 GHz with 1 GB Hash (for long
time analysis).
I think that quite realistic.
