Well, I tried the old Benchmark prog, PcMark2002, but It's outdated so I couldn't compare my memory scores. The new free version PcMark2004 doesn't have a ram test so I can't do that either. I don't really have a ram-switching option either. However, I have found that when I de-activated the download manager on firefox it's seems to go quite fast. The reason I stayed with firebird was because of that download manager window, that stalled my computer forever. But now that it's off it should work pretty well. Also I think ad-aware helped quite a lot, as did you guys! Thanks all. If I can try switching ram later I will, but for now I'll just use firefox.
