Hello there
I am waiting until April for the new intel chips to come out before I buy a brand new desktop. After my laptop broke I dug out my old desktop circa 2005 to play Wow on (albeit very limpingly).
This old desktop has a 939N68PV-GLAN motherboard, an AMD Athlon 64 3500 processor and currently 1 Gb of RAM of which 250 Mb is being used for the onboard graphics of the mboard. I'm running XP Home SP3 as the operating system.
Would it make a noticeable improvement/difference (particularly in constant hard drive and processor activity) to install another 2 Gb of RAM into this poor old desktop of which I'm asking so much.
Thanks in advance.
Jules
