adding another 2GB of RAM?

[Wasted]

How big is the performance increase from adding another 2GB of RAM? Just wondered if there would be any point in wasting another £100 on RAM i may not need.

Cheers for your help.

2GB RAM still enough?

Saw this at the bottom of this post

More RAM is NEVER a bad thing.

Couldn't agree more, but with my setup being old i just wondered if it was going to be worth the the money

Depends on the situation - how much RAM does it have already..? Most systems can't deal with more than around 3.5 GB of RAM, unless you're using a 64-bit processor and OS....

What are the specs on it, you could be as well off to spend some on a new CPU (or perhaps even computer) and get a bigger hit............

Based on your current build there isnt a whole lot of growth without some serious build up. Maybe a new CPU but your almost better off looking at the Intel chips coming out soon. They are reporting to be some of the best chips ever made, incredible processing power in a REALLY small package.

Ah, I didn't realise the OP was relating to the rig in the sig - a LOT of the ppl I know have multiple computers, and I thought they might've been thinking about an old 'un...

OK Cool, I'll overclock the CPU see if i can get some more oomph that way
