G'day all, this is my first post, so be gentile.
I'm considering upgrading my RAM and so have some questions.
I have 128M with pentium III 700MHz and running Japanese Windows ME in a 2000 model NEC laptop. Have reduced startup menu and custonised AV software to minimise resource consumption. System runs ok but tends to stress out when running several programs simultaneously or after being on for long time. I've read that extra RAM is the single most effective performance enhancement for the money.
Would extra RAM give a significant improvement ?
Can windows ME actually effectively manage extra RAM ?
Thought I heard somewhere that too much RAM is a waste since windows couldn't really utilise it.
Since my pc is Japanese I can't find it's model in Crucial or Kingston and the Crucial "scan" didn't work either !
Have a good one
