Is it worth it?

Hi all.

I have 1GB [2x512mb] Single channel Ram. I dont know what it is am im pretty sure its unbranded. Here is a picture of the timings:

Would i get better performance in A] Games and B] Photoshop etc.
I currently have a AMD 64 Socket754 3700 Clawhammer, and a 7800GT.
Would i notices a increase in performance from a Mushkin 2GB set or a G.Skill 2GB set.
Thanks once again

im not sure what your asking but if you mean upgrading to 2gb then you might see smoother performance in games when running at higher settings and photoshop will be quicker when working on large images, if you mean using dual channel you will notice an increase in benchmarks but not really in real world performance and finally if you mean upgrading to ram with tighter timings i dont think you would notice a huge improvement unless running benchmarks
