| 1189614 | 2011-03-26 11:42:00 | Did a small design job for a mate recently as a freebie, he just sent me an email saying he was sending me 2 sticks of ram (new) same as what I have in my rig as payment (changed the specs on a rig he's building) anyway my question is, will there really be much advantage using an additional 4G of ram on my setup? I do mostly Cad design and photo editing, any comments or advise appreciated thanks.....G <OS> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : Win 7 Home Premium 64 Bit <MOBO>ASUS P7H55-M Intel H55 DDR3 uATX PCI-E Intel LGA1156 Platform Intel® H55 Express Chipset <CPU> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : Intel Core i5 750 2.66 GH Processor Socket 1156 (8MB L3 Cache) <GPU> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : HIS ATI Radeon HD5750 <RAM> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : Corsair CM3X2G1333C9 X2 <PSU> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : Cooler Master GX 550W : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : rolleyes : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : italic; "> : #444444; font-style : italic; "> : |

| 1189615 | 2011-03-26 12:02:00 | No reason why not. The Motherboard will take it and the O/S will recognise it. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1189616 | 2011-03-26 12:19:00 | Windows 7 loves ram. I would imagine photo editors would too. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1189617 | 2011-03-26 19:03:00 | There's no such thing as too much RAM. It's free, take it. | pctek (84) | ||

| 1189619 | 2011-03-26 22:33:00 | RAM is good... going above 4GB is pointless in a 32-bit machine, but you can (usually) go as high as you want (in the petabytes range if you must!) with 64-bit machines, to my knowledge anyway... :nerd: | mookster1 (15854) | ||
| 1189620 | 2011-03-26 22:34:00 | And if you don't feel any performance increase, just sell it off! Ca-ching! | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 1189621 | 2011-03-26 22:39:00 | Buy a time machine, go back to a time when the $10,000 25MHz 80386 came out, and sell it off for $1000/megabyte! You'll be an instant millionaire (or just made $20 after paying off the time machine, maybe :( ) | mookster1 (15854) | ||
| 1189622 | 2011-03-26 23:09:00 | And if you don't feel any performance increase, just sell it off! Ca-ching! If he is doing CAD and photo work I think you will find a difference and anyway the way each service pack and upgrade for Windows tends to slow a machine down it is worth holding on to it for the future. |
