When doing RAM upgrades I would always double what the computer currently has, or you will hardly notice a difference.

If building a new computer with 1GB of RAM I would stick in one 1GB stick, leaves room for upgrade later with another 1GB stick. I would use two sticks if I wanted the advantage(although I've never seen any) of running duel channel.

339376 2005-09-30 13:52:00 I wonder, can I share my computer's RAM with other computer as well? This is the scenario in my mind: My dad is bringing over a laptop which has only 128 MB of RAM, no free slots of RAM. Can I hook up the laptop to the computer via crossover cable and share its processor work and processes with the computer? I myself admit this is a wild thought. ;)

Cheers :)What processes did you have in mind?? You could try ultraVNC, then he could control your computer from his.

For example, I might want to connect both devices for LAN game purpose. However, the laptop will be very very laggy compare to the computer. Hence, I wonder if it is possible to "borrow" the CPU power and RAM from the computer for additional speed by just networking it to the computer.
