What a difference .........

[Abarbarian]

So I had 2 x 256mb and 1 x 512mb sticks of Crucial ram . Pc was ok but when burning a video slowed right down and realy strugled to do anything else .
Now have 2 x 1Gb Crucial ram and I have what seems like a new pc . Burning a video , crunching and surfing all at the same time . Phew what a difference .
Increasing your ram realy does make a difference .

Always a cheap method to improve your pc's performance.

... and hopefully, you put them in the right slots to take advantage of the Dual-Channel mode of the MB.


With what you had before, you were actually strangling the performance somewhat.


PCs do like room to breath.

Hey mucks, thougt you didnt belive in Dual channel?

i should get 'better' ram, one of these days

Going from 1GB of RAM up to 2GB a couple of years ago is still the biggest single improvement I've made to my system.

Hey mucks, thought you didn't believe in Dual channel?

I believe very much in DC motherboards touting that fact, they do improve performance ... but there is NO such thing, as dual-channel RAM.

What I misread was K8N & A8N ... got caught in my own "numbers game" ...
