1159655 2010-12-08 03:40:00 Yes PJ, that's the one, you're right in saying you can whack in another 2GB DDR2 stick of RAM and you'll be away laughing.

PinoyKiw, let us know how you get on :)

Chill, thanks for that. I assume that it has to be an identical stick. PJ

1159656 2010-12-08 04:07:00 Capture NX is not really liked by some Nikon shooters . It's known to be slow and a clunky GUI .

I find that NX is a bit more fussy and that is NX is not really a start to end solution, like dust spots cannot be addressed other than shooting a reference and if the software can pick them out . So for me I end up using Photoshop as well .

RAM could help but I find that NX might want a faster CPU as well . . .

1159657 2010-12-08 04:14:00 Chill seems to have got the data from the link? PJ

Yes. But if someone else clicks on the link they will get YOUR data and not the data for their PC.

Ideally you want to get an identical stick or it won't run as dual data rate.

1159658 2010-12-08 06:17:00 Yes but that's just the data for his RAM details.

Any stick will work, but matching as Snorkbox mentioned is ideal.

1159660 2010-12-08 20:38:00 XP memory management is very poor above 1G. So over 1G gives negligible little
speed increase, in MOST cases
Also some older machines actually slow down(yes) if you stick over 1G in.

1159661 2010-12-08 20:57:00 I'm with 1101 but am open to being surprised! linw (53)
1159662 2010-12-08 23:23:00 What makes you say it's poor over 1GB?

Heck these days I wouldnt run XP with less than 1GB. By the time you cold-boot the OS, throw in Anti-Virus, fire up a browser window or two, you're already over 1GB of utilization and then it's swapping to your pagefile and will be slow as hell...

Also some older machines actually slow down(yes) if you stick over 1G in.I can't say I agree with that. XP's memory management is crap, period - but adding more than 1GB of ram will certainly help a lot in a large majority of cases.
