UD Performance question

Silly question maybe, but would bumping my Dell OptiPlex GXi (Pentium 233) from 64meg RAM to 96/128/192/256 megs help munching performance of the wobbly-legged cow?

SickPup, I think adding the ram would just help the overall performance of your computer!!
As for UD, more ram will help your performance rating!

Memory is 25% of the "Overall Rating". Each 128MB will bump your memory rating by 33 points

On a cow that normally scores 30, adding 128MB will bump your overall score up by about 8 points, which is about 35 UD points per day. Adding 256MB would increase your overall score by about 16 for in increase of about 75 points per day.

You can figure it out yourself using these formulas:

Overall Performance = CPU x 40% + Memory x 25% + Storage x 5% + Network x 30%

Points = CPU time x Overall Performance / 5.4

32MB = 9
64MB =17
128MB = 33
256MB = 67
384MB = 100
512MB = 134

Thanks for the tips, Fingers & GilaManster! I have some memory laying around and wanted to see if I could put a little more munching power on my little cow without spending any more $$ just yet!
