| 735131 | 2009-01-06 20:00:00 | The program said I needed a DDR PC2-6400 and that I can actually install up to 4 GB. So, having said that, wouldn't it be better to get 2 x 2 GB then or is the increase in performance not that big? sarel It largely depends the system environment and the number of programs you normally run at one time. Last night (not "yesterday night"!) I have upgraded an ASUS laptop memory from 2GB to 4GB by adding another 2GB RAM module. My rationale behind that upgrade is that the operating system and the essential start-up programs occupy 1.2GB of the total memory on a fresh boot, so a further 2GB RAM boost will definitely reflect a performance increase.

If your motherboard can take 2 x 2 GB = 4 GB and you have a 32bit Windows operating system then thats your max you can have and only 3.25 GB will be able to be used. But it will still work fine plus by doing that you know you will have enough memory for most things and you wont have to buy any more later on,for a time at least and then you will have to get a 64bit OS to be able to use 4 GB and more ram and you will have to check how much ram your motherboard can take as well.:D Also you can have Dual Channel with your two sticks of ram....which is good.:) Plus if you are using Windows Vista which loves to eat as much ram as it can then yes I woud use 4 GB for sure for a 32bit version and for a 64bit version I would use 8 GB like I am now!!! Memory is so cheap why not max it out!!!:punk:thumbs::banana |

| 735133 | 2009-01-08 19:45:00 | I saw this from PC Pacific online : 2 x GENERIC 2GB DDR2-800 PC2-6400 MEMORY OEM. What does the OEM say with regard to RAM? Price $27 each sarel |

| 735134 | 2009-01-09 00:58:00 | Or is the OEM of no concern with RAM? Sarel |
