| 1314874 | 2012-11-26 05:07:00 | I decided the time had come to upgrade my netbook from 1Gb RAM to 2Gb, ignoring the HP recommended RAM I bought some Transcend jet RAM. It arrived this morning and I have just installed it, turned on the computer nothing. Oh know I thought it's not recognised, took the cover off to put the old RAM back in and realised I hadn't pushed the new stick in properly. Pushed it in and now it turns on and is running so much faster for a single core Atom :clap |

| 1314876 | 2012-11-26 21:15:00 | It certainly does on smaller systems although I found the extra 4GB in mine made a big diff running Photoshop, I used to have the max RAM dump set to about 1.5 GB, now I let it take up 5 with an extra 3 laying around for chrome or what ever else. PS is quite good at pulling back on the RAM if it is unessential and other apps require it... not sure if that's PS or Windows that is doing that management though. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
