RAM Speed

[wilber]

Does the speed of your RAM really make a significant difference? For instance would 400mhz vs 600mhz really be that much of a difference?

That extra speed can make a difference but you will also have to add how much actual ram you have too.

I always say you should have at least a GB of free memory to do whatever you need to.

Fast memory is a faster computer so even though you may have spare ram you still need the speed to boost your system.

I know some people will only accept RAM above a certain speed. Also try to get your RAM the same speed rather than different.

[geek]

Well yes I have switched to faster RAM before and experienced really good results so you are right about that, can't argue it.

[wilber]

Also matching ram speed is important or your machine will always use the lesser speed unfortunately.

[geek]

yes that is the sad thing about RAM they only get devalued from the time you bought them unless someone is looking for an older machine.

Wait til a computer flea market comes your way and you get lots of RAM for cheap, sometimes even in bundles.
