Cheap upgrade

Well the motherboard i have in now only supports DDR 2 and a max of 4 gigs, not sure if adding 1 gig of ddr 2 is going to make much of a difference.

More RAM definitely makes a difference, but I feel with 4GB of RAM you'll still run out, which will cause your system to start using virtual memory, which is based on your hard drive, which is the slowest part of your system in the grand scheme of things.

So, long run while it would make for an improvement, you'll still run into issues.

It is also dependent on your current usage. See how much RAM you're using/and virtual memory and try to gauge how much gain you could get. (CTRL ALT DEL -> Performance manager, assuming Win7)


/snaaaaaaaaaaaap. Forgot you're running two systems. Still, see how much RAM is being used, switch up how many clients the computer is running, and other performance tweaky things. What's your main system?
