merlin324 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I have a Compaq 5330 US and I just installed the Audigy 2ZS Platinum. Short of upgrading the processor I was wondering if I could get better performance by upgrading the RAM . Basically I know Compaq is crapola to start with....I can't even access the BIOS for crying out loud....and the one time it did happen to open for me, there was little if nothing in terms of tweeking. Anyhow, I thought perhaps if I installed a gig of Corsair it might just give the old horse a lift ! Thanks for any thoughts.
