I need to learn how to change this stuff myself since he is always so busy 
to help me with this but for some reason I am nervous tinkering with the 
insides of my computer, I could however play with the old one I have to 
learn from it, it was not a Dell but a VPR Matrix from Best Buy, their brand 
but I had it custom built.

I am trying to decide on a new computer before the end of this summer but 
would like to keep this one alive awhile longer if possible.

It is four years old now and I guess as some people may refer to it "Dell 
from ..." ;o, dont know it its been that bad but I really did love the old 
VPR Matrix I had.


That is a great visual you sent, thanks!  So are they saying then dont mix 
memory that came with your computer with brand new memory or is it just the 
order/slots you put them in and all.  I guess you dont want to mix like a 
512 mb with two 256 mb or the like.

Cristy,
    With the audio editing you're doing, you should really have at least 2GB
in your main system.  It might not speed things up a ton, but it'll take
away a LOT of bottleneck issues.  IF they're installed in dual-channel mode,
then you WILL see things speed up quite a bit.  See the Memory area below
for some visual info specific to your mainboard on this.

    Yes, and he also moved one of the original sticks from its factory
location, so, even if you remove the extra stick, it still won't functionin
dual-channel mode until the other two sticks are installed on the same color
slots.

    If both systems use the same type of memery, I would consider taking the
sticks you pull out of this one and installing them in the older one.
Depending on how many open slots it has, start with the largest capacity
spare first.  Of course, both systems MUST require DDR for there to be any
chance of this working.

Peace,
Gman
