    I know just what you mean.
    By the time you sterilize the field, purify your chakra and sacrifice the goat, well, there goes an entire afternoon.
    And that's assuming that you slay the dragon guarding the DIMMs on your first attempt.

    I can see how it might take a year or two to work up to such an ordeal.

    wtf are you talking about? I can assure you that not one person understood the meaning in that.

    1 GiB of RAM should be more than enough for that, even if you're using Azureus......
    Like VB said, are you sure the problem isnt your HDD or CPU?

    *buys a box of Wheaties and a bottle of milk at Albert Heijn**
    *eats whole box of Weaties*
    *grunts*
    *gets out decoder ring*
    *decodes message*

    if i used it right Clocker is saying that upgrading the RAM isnt that hard, its just case open, comp on its side, cables on the side, pop RAM in.


    *my favorite grocery store
    great FTP site for awesome quality video clips

    Why not just let him buy the 2GBS. If he gets 2GBS he will be good for five years. I wish I had 2GBS, producing music hurts my memory, and having multiple instances of the same thing for each track weighs down the computer. I'd do anything for 2GBS.

    Including setting your RAM timing to near-narcoleptic settings?
    AFAIK, no nForce4 board will run 4x512MB modules at 1t.
    The DFI LanParty may be the exception to this due to it's extreme voltage options, but most other boards don't have the juice.

    The question remains: is the second GB worth having given how far you must knock back your timings to make it run?
    Maybe to you and Skizo it is.

    Well, I look at the performance tab in the task manager and I had very low memory available, and whenever I free azureus, 550mb comes right back.
