Danny Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I think its more likely to be sdram if you only have 128mb. Download CPU-Z and run it. That will tell you the details about your ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will tell you the details about your ram.My Pc atm is 256mb DDR, but i was going to put that 128MB in, but i just tryed to put it in, and its SDRAM, cause it never fit. and it says SDRAM on the front of it ah well.What would make my pc run faster? it is the RAM isnt it?

Danny Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ram allows you to run more programs at once. If your running windows xp you should have at least 512mb anyway really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) Organised installs , keep all the uneccesary poo off the computer , faster hard drives (ATA) , better processor or you could just sell that and buy a mac Ram is good for stuff like editing but you do need the graphics card to back it up. Just slowly do each bit starting with the ram movin on to the hard drives then the motherboard and processor in one sift swoop.What is the spec on it at the moment ?

Smo™ Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I think what you're actually after (judging by what you want) is a faster processor. Go buy a 4.2Ghz beasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
