hit ctrl alt del and use task manager to see how much memory you are using. Now start opening windows or start some programs and see what uses more memory. When you get above 128MB the new memory is working instead of the swap file on the hard drive. Going from 64 to 128 is very noticeable, but going above 128 usually is not. another key to speeding up the system is getting rid of programs that don't need to be running. What do you see down by the time in the taskbar? Real Player is the #1 offender. I have only the volume control in mine. -----Original Message----- From: win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Oded Neumann Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 10:52 AM To: win2kforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [win2kforum] Re: More Memory What could I do for example, in order to see the difference? -----Original Message----- From: win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Chris Krug Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 3:51 PM To: win2kforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [win2kforum] Re: More Memory Have you done anything that requires more than 128MB?, if you do, you will see a difference. -----Original Message----- From: win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Subi Sent: Monday, May 28, 2001 8:59 AM To: win2kforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [win2kforum] More Memory Hi. I decided to upgrade my PC from 128 MB memory by another 128 MB. Beside the problems I had with "non compatible" memory, which I had to give back, now everything is running "fine". The point is, that I do not recognise (in speed or in some other features) any changes in having more memory. Do I have to do something special (maybe in the Bios-setup) in order to recognise the double amount of memory?
