A week or two ago - after upgrading my 2.0GHz PIV HP Vectra that 'had' 1.5GB
RAM - I questioned here why I only had a 1.8 experience index for memory
(RAM). Someone responded that "perhaps it is because the RAM is old" - and I
thought - OK - I have had it for several years and although I've never heard
of it "getting old" - I decided to replace it with 3 1GB DIMM modules (I
bought the ones recommended by HP for this machine). Today I switched from
the 'old' 1.5GB DIMM to the 'new' 3 - 1GB DIMM modules (total of 3GB now) -
rebooted the PC and updated my Experience Index and - it didn't change at all
- still a 1.8 Subscore for memory. So, what else comes into play here to give
me such a lousy subscore on memory with brand new 3 GB DIMM modules?
