101899	2002-11-27 07:40:00	I have an Athlon XP 1600 running windows XP home. Would I benefit from upgrading my current ram (512 p133) to DDR ram (512). What would the speed benefits be?? Thanks in advance. Steve	steven kelly (2647)
101900	2002-11-27 07:53:00	yeah you would benefit. ddr is 266mhz, twice the amount of data goes in in the same amount of time. would not be a huge increase in speed. i'd guess around 5-10% increase.	loser (538)
