Memory upgrade makes my system slower
Last response: in Motherboards
Hi Everyone
I wonder if anyone can help me? I have an Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA motherboard with an AMD Ahlon 64 X2 4600+ CPU running windows 7 64 bit. I previously had 2GB of RAM as two matching 1GB units. Today I tried to expand this by adding in two more identical units so that I had 4GB of matching units, 1GB in in each of the four slots. The system works, shows all 4GB of memory, and the memory tested OK. The trouble is the systems seems slower, most especially IE which takes longer to switch between tabs and each time it gets a pixelated screen for a few seconds.
Any ideas why the system is slow and what I can do to improve the situation? It was so annoying I've just taken out then new memory but seems a shame not to have the extra memory available as it will be useful on occasion.
