| 664289 | 2008-04-30 08:25:00 | We got a new motherboard earlier this year. PC has been running slower than we would like and it has become fairly obvious we need more RAM. The processor is a 2.20 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 Currently only have 512Mg RAM and going to add to total 2Gig About right ? Or should just get 1Gig extra (might be my Scots heritage ! :) ) Misty :illogical |

| 664294 | 2008-04-30 22:31:00 | your motherboard will limit how much ram you can fit, and how much ram each slot can take. | utopian201 (6245) | ||
| 664295 | 2008-05-01 07:44:00 | 1 or 2GB is v good for XP. Doing normal stuff that is ... but 512MB isn't bad to be honest IMO .. for admin work and stuff ... but it has a been a tad slow on our slower system AMD Sempron 2500+ | Nomad (952) | ||

(aside from the cost of around $9000) ( and as long as the motherboard supports it) Its no use for gaming but ideal for video rendering or photo work |

(aside from the cost of around $9000) ( and as long as the motherboard supports it) Its no use for gaming but ideal for video rendering or photo work Really? I didn't know that any program needed 32 GB to run at optimal speeds. Even the most demanding programs max out at 8 GB. And yes that $9000 cost would really discourage me from buying it :) |
