I'm more impressed that my ram runs at over 200mhz without the need for heatsinks...

don't get me wrong, if I could afford it, I'd go corsair everytime though.

corsair are great!
i got 256 333mhz XMS2700 i think it was.
bout 80£. has its own heat sink as well lol!

the idea is not to increase the size of ram, but to increase the speed.
ur probably running old school sdram, u should get a motherboard that supports ddr rom, with a fastest bus speed.
internet n shit may run smoother..

butfor difference up the mothoer board, up the ram! up the processer..

fuck it, from a simple ram upgrade to digging £300 out of ur pocket lol.

I have Twinmoss 3200 running at 204mhz... fine, I would get slightly better timings with Corsair, but it's twice the price.

You could run XMS 3500, but not actually run at 214mhz

I bet im the only one running DDR400 speeds lol

And don't mix different speeds of RAM...

If you can get one-chip of the fastest-speed your motherboard can cope with, that'll work nicely!

Currently running: 512Mb of (PC3200-DDR400) memory! :)

u need to put the largest/fastest block of RAM in the first slot on ur motherboard for it to work and register properly

You have either not clipped the ram in properly or its faulty! most probably faulty!
Improvments not a lot really. At the mo the most memory i have and have seen on home computers is a 1Gb of RAM.

What improvments should i see?
ive done this as the last week or so i keep getting msgs saying not enough memory to run program etc, now i wont have that prob no more.

Internet seems be faster, thought that wouldnt change as my internet connection deicdes thats.

btw whats the most memory ne1 has in their pc on here?

i now have a 256 slot which only reads as 192 when i go on my system info plus 512 ive just put in. now reads as 704 on my system info. 64MB gone missing??? (it does say 256 on the autual slot cus i took it out have a look)
