Has anyone here upgraded from 1Gb to 2gb Ram ?

I was thinking of the idea, but is the performance increase noticable in XP ? I know that anything over 512Mb is enough for XP to run smoothly.

[K86]

Hi

I have a PC running at 512MB, one running at 1GB and another at 2GB and I can see a lot of difference in performance between them, I was acually thinking of the idea for 4GB on my new machine, but if you want to run Vista then 1GB+ would be better

[K86]

Hi

For some reason here are some pictures of my PC

[Luke Beale]

your PC looks cool ;D

[K86]

Hi

Thank you, the LED lights on the front change colour all the time and the window on the side is pretty big, but it also has LED lights fitted in there as well which lights up all the inside

[Luke Beale]

my one is boring, its just plain black case

[K86]

Hi

We\'ve got a boring one to, its just green and silver, nothing much about it, but I thought this one was pretty nice, yet I must admit sometimes it can be distracting, espacailly the view window

[mattc_uk]

Yeh all this \'christmas lighty\' stuff has only taken off in the last couple years... looks nice n all but... at the end of the day it\'s what inside that counts. :laugh:

Did I hear that right 17cm CPU fan :o

Jeez... I bet that machine makes a nice heavy drone when u power her up! :^_^:

Water cooling... thats what u need, a small pain to install but very much worth it. I\'ve been using Exos II now for over a year with no problems.

Hi

The fan is pretty quiet, I\'ve just turned on Q Fan and Cool & Quiet, then the BIOS, sometimes the fan doesn\'t even come on at all if the BIOS dosn\'t think so, it\'s only when you play games or load Windows XP when the Fan is ever at full speed
