Theres a hack to run OSX on 86x systems, but not very stable and many programs not supported. Might as well get a real one

oh, and stickied

oh I forgot, I remembered reading somewhere that says 64bit or dual-core processors can take double the amount of ram. Hardware makes a difference too.

or any other flavor of linux or unix...personally use debian and solaris.
not only u get the max out of ur hardware...things like "raiding" ur hdd is also easy..

Different brand is ok, but different type may not be ok.

my pc is using 2 slotted 128MB..totalling 256MB..so will it take longer to swap than a single slotted 256MB ram?

ceecookie SG

chanff8 SG

Those system processes are neccessary to run the computer properly and keeping it stable, although some may be useless

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Nope.

Added more ram to my computer from DDR400 512 mb to 1.5 gb by adding in a 1 gig ram just to play Heroes V.

Before: On medium settings lagged badly when I move my mouse around.

After: Instead of lagging badly, maybe a few skipped frames once every few minutes.

Actually there are other possible bottlenecks to consider like the video card, motherboard and the cpu speed and type. Although in my case I was using a radeon 9800 pro and athlon xp 3000 which imo sounded more than adequate in handling the task at hand.

Right click on My Computer, select Properties. Check how much RAM is displayed there.

yunao SG

same..1gb only..even the physical memory in the task manager also appear 1gb only

Your motherboard is only able to support the maximum of 1GB of RAM. Or if you are using integrated graphics card, it could have taken up 512MB of the RAM.

when i try using only 2 ram cards, it keep rebooting or sometimes hang.it works when i using only 1 or 3.The motherboard i using can support up to 2 gb.As u mention earlier, it may taken up 512mb due to graphic card but i been using only 1 512 mb for quite sometimes before adding another 2 512 ram card.Pls advise..Thanks

Try slotting one of the RAM in another slot if you are using 2 pieces of RAM. RAM slots are notorious for working fine for one slot, the other slot will give you problems.

Your RAM might be faulty, since it shows a maximum of 1GB. Exchange the new pieces of RAM for new pieces of RAM.

If new pieces of RAM doesn't work, you have to ask a professional to check your motherboard.

actually, does adding more ram quickens the boot up time?
