stuartfox Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have build a Music / audio PC specifically for the job and would like some memory tips. Its an intel p4 D core 3.0 Asus P5wdm2 m/b 2 gigs Corsair DDR2 mem (2x1gig) I'd like to add more memory - Seeing as win32 will only see 3.5gig, do I a) get annother 2x1 pair and go over (the asus board might slow the whole lot down though??) or do I get a 512 pair. What do you suggest? Also any bios tips to get the most out of my existing memory. Thanks Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have build a Music / audio PC specifically for the job and would like some memory tips. I would say that 2GB is more than enough, even for a gaming rig. You won't benefit from any more RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good tip I have used is to put your Windows paging file on a physically seperate HD from the system HD. If you are running your OS and apps from your system drive, then it helps reduce I/O lag to put the paging activity onto a seperate drive. Are you actually seeing situations where you are physically out of memory? I agree with CMC Savage, you won't benefit from any more RAM. Mike.
