107680	2002-12-20 02:44:00	I have just given myself a Christmas present - an upgrade of an additional 256 doublesided SD Ram from 128. I'm running a Pentium 111 733E 133 Mhz processor with 98SE OS. with a 20 Gb hard drive. My question. What improvements should I notice because I'm somewhat disappointed to say I can't actually notice anything different. Somebody told me with W98 I won't notice much and would need to upgrade to XP before I noticed anything worthwhile. Did I waste my money? willbry :-	willbry (1555)

They say that coz XP as an OS uses up a whole lot more RAM and 98. 98 goes quite easy on the RAM as an operating system, so if you do gaming and other things like Video Editing, Image Manipulation, Sound editing, or anything else like that, then you'll notice it! If you do Gaming, then you'll notice it, being smoother, load times decrease and other things too! Load times overall will be decreased I guess if its able to store it in RAM!
