Yours has 512MB of RAM which probably means it has two RAM sticks of 256MB each, inserted into two RAM slots on the computer’s motherboard. By comparison mine has four available RAM slots on the motherboard and I have it configured with 2 X 512 RAM sticks and 2 X 256 RAM sticks making a total of 1536MB ( or 1.536GB

) of RAM. Way over the top but hey – who’s counting.

I dont get the bolded bit. MB is GB?

Basically the more RAM you have the faster and better the computer will perform

So its the RAM that makes your pc run faster? My bros is the same, but runs faster :? Your confusing me….

The other thing that you didn’t mention is the processor speed on your computer. Your brother’s is probably faster than yours because he has a faster speed processor than you do. Slow processors can be in the order of say 800MHz and really fast ones around 3.0 GHz. Typically 1.5 GHz is an average processor speed which should be absolutely fine for most things except maybe high speed gaming etc

I have 2.80Ghz, my bros is 3.6Ghz. He now has 160 GB`s too, so these to differences may be why his runs faster.

Your brother’s 3.6Ghz will certainly help make his PC faster – but the 160GB won’t make a difference – just means he can save a bloody lot on his PC !

haha no Emma – I’m definitely not JC’s Computer Geek !

Unfortunately I’ve used PC’s at work for years and have found the resident IT departments as much use as a chocolate ashtray !

Suffice to say that my home laptop is in much better shape than my work’s PC !

Failing what I’ve said on my other post – you could have downloaded some spyware and it could be a good idea to make sure you have a good up to date spyware remover programme on your PC. Spyware will definitely slow your internet connection.

Right, that’s enough intelligent “stuff” I’m off for a lie down………. :lol:

I thought Christmas was just all about the presents………….

Your RAM determines the speed your PC can do multiple tasks – you need a minimum of 512MB RAM if you are running Windows XP.

Your “GB” size is the capacity of what your PC can hold. The more GB, the more you can store on your PC.

Your Broadband shouldn’t really be affected by either [unless of course you are opening multiple windows on ‘tinternet]. It might be an idea to delete your Temporary Internet Files – they tend to slow your speed whilst surfing.

If you want to keep an eye on your RAM, download FreeRam XP Pro:-

http://www.yourwaresolutions.com/software.html

It will put an icon on your XP toolbar and monitor your RAM – quite handy to keep an eye on – that way you’ll know if your PC is using all your RAM or not. I currently have 512MB RAM on my laptop and use XP and Broadband – I generally have around 200MB RAM free if I do not have any other applications open [although I am going to upgrade the RAM soon :wink: ].

I would start with deleting temporary internet files.

Then there’s always some other smart arse on JC who will come up with an answer.

Then there’s Owen “Google” Ka$h.

:D

I am going to be on my own – but I’m just going to have a lie-in, then watch the cr@p on the tv whilst eating chocolate and drinking vodka.

So I’m rather looking foward to it ! :lol:
