Ben Cox Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 all seems kosher for what your looking for , would be better with xp than vista, but will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I may sound like a real n00b here but if i took it to my local computer shop and asked them to put 4gb of ram in it would that make it faster or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) I may sound like a real n00b here but if i took it to my local computer shop and asked them to put 4gb of ram in it would that make it faster or not?You won't notice much different in speed, when you add more ram vista will automatically use up a little bit more ram for more processes in the background that are more frequently used so you might notice the difference that way. And it really isn't that noticeable.But, the vista that comes with it is most likely 32-bit version which can use a limited amount of ram up to about 3.1GB ish so you potentially have 900MB wasted. If you want more ram I would only have 3GB max.More ram basically means being able to do more things at once or lots of the same things at once such as having 20 high solution opened in photoshop.For what you are doing its perfectly fine. Don't even bother trying to play new games on it. Edited December 28, 2008 by weirdoku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 That won't be any good for games.Vista really needs 2gb ram to run half well, but other than that it's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
