My question to the experts is:I bought Dell Inspiron 9300. I added 2G
of memory but the system was acting slower than my old Latitude. So, I
removed 1G and now it is working very smoothly. Does that mean that
less is better?

Correct. It`s probably what your machine likes best.

Did you change the page file size or do you let windows do it. If your HDD
is fragmented, it may have a problem creating a page file of the size it
wants (usually 1.5-2x the RAM size). I would try defragmenting to see if
that helps, and then change the file size to less than recommended, since
you don't really need it all.
