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 .

... 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. :D

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? :D
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" ... :p
