I dare say the graphics card and the processor do their fair share of being slow as well.

But for office type of tasks it's the RAM that should be a priority.

How would you like a big upgrade for free?

Simply change your FSB from 100MHz to 133MHz and boost your processor speed to 1466MHz, which is what your XP1700+ should be running at. :rolleyes:

depends on his cooling system.

agreed. well i think he should bump it up to 133 (isn't much actually now that i think of it) and get that 256. should set him right till the next upgrade, which shouldn't be too long either.

bigger question is if the mobo will suport it, mind you if its a prebuilt it wont OC at all, *shrugs* his call though on all of it i think many many many options have been presented to him though

It's not an overclock. It's setting it at the proper speed. His current speed is underclocked.

Well spotted, lynx.

So it was underclocked from it's "stock" speed? Why?
