I'm running an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe M/B, P-4 3.2 Ghz processor, Windows XP Pro,
and had 1Gb DDRAM in two 512 modules. I installed two more 512 modules for a
total of 2Gb and now the machine seems to be running slower, as in takes a long
time for individual windows to open, or for programs to launch. The original
modules are about a year-and-a-half old, and are PC3200. The two new modules,
which I bought a month or so ago, are also PC3200 and I was told by Kingston,
the mfg, that they should work alright with the older (non-Kingston) modules. I
don't know if I should buy another pair of Kingston so all four modules are the
same, or if I could be having some other difficulty. Is 2Gb too much RAM? Does
Windows XP have a limit? I do notice physically that although both old and new
modules are 512Mb and PC3200, that the older ones have chips on both sides of
the card, but the newer modules only have chips on one side. What would this
mean? Thanks for any info.
