Just lately I have been having troubles with my RAM. I had 2 sticks of
512mb PC3200 onboard a Gigabyte 7N400 with an XP3000 CPU. They were
running in Dual Channel Mode...
The system never really performed like it had 1 GB, always running
average or maybe even slow at times... Just a month or so ago, it
began crahing bigtime, mainly in games or after I ran games,, and it
never really go better, just worse, more often etc. It drove me nuts
trying to find what the cause of these crashes was. A few nights ago I
pulled out the RAM stick in the 3rd RAM slot, leaving me now with
512mb. The PC now performs well and appears to have stopped crashing.
There is absolutely no decrease in performance any way you look at it.
It handles games well, and on oddocassions even runs slightly faster
than before...
I might try putting that leftover stick of 512mb of RAM back in but
thins time I will try it in the 2nd slot, making it just plain old 1Gb
in ordinary mode...
Do you think this is wise or is there maybe a reason not to..???
Is there any real benefit in having 1Gb of RAM over 512mb..?? I know
technically, you are running twice as much therefore you should see
the benefits BUT are there any real benefits for XP Pro, other than
bragging rights???
