Hi folks,
I run an amd 3200+ with a gig of pc3200 ram and an nvidia 6800 128mb.
It's always done me fine, but recently I've been using a lot of maya and photoshop. Large images, while having both apps open, causes hang, worse if I've got the net open too.
If I upgrade to two gigs will I see a significant improvement in this? I'd like to be able to increase the size of my image files, but at the moment I can't.
I can get this:
CT12864Z40B DDR PC3200 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.6V • 128Meg x 64
for £35 (gbp) per gig. It's basically the same as my current memory, but I'd have two gig sticks instead of two 512 sticks.
Considering the rest of my machine is quite old though, I am just wondering if the memory would make working with multiple applications and large files more practical.
thanks,
gubar
