    Question Hi guys, what if I add 1 more strip of RAM...

    I already had 1 strip of 256MB of pc100 FSB. My system is classic slotA Athlon 600Mhz.

    I'm thinking of adding another 256MB. Will my WinXP be noticebly faster?

    My dual boot system run faster in win98 than winXP home edition. The winXP windows and icons redraws are slower compare to win98.

    What do you think?

    for 1 xp on a 600mhz is bound to be slow anyways buy it would help if you were multitasking heavily

    ddr

    if your looking for speed, have ddr slots and a large enough wallet i strongly suggest using ddr ram.
