Will increasing RAM increase performance?

I've only got a 733 processor and I'm considering adding 512 of RAM. Will this make much of a difference speed and performance wise?

It won't hurt

depends on how much of a difference your looking for, which in turn, depends on how much RAM your using now

My computer is 600, had 64ram, I replaced w/256 and not sure I could tell much diff. So now I am going to try another 256 (512 max on mine)to see it that helps. I use 2 database programs, also Outlook and Excel and then my system, user and GDI is about 25-25-25 and then I ready for a lockup. Then if I close everything, I never get back to where I was at boot 80-80-80. Now it is about 59-59-59. Now I don't know what the 256 was that I added, my computer calls for PC100

I think that it will make a samll differences but don't hold you breath for a burst in preformance.

I recon that the three major factors in good preformance are RAM (512MB dual channel), Processor (P4, 3.2GHz) and a good Hard Drive.

What about the motherboard? ...

Only if your mobo can hold that amount....



Find the specs for your mobo. It probably will, but it doesn't hurt to be safe

Uh ... how much memory do you have now?
