hi,
im building a new computer for a friend and he knows a very little bit bout computers and all he has told me is he wants 4GB RAM and an E6600 ?
now he doesnt really need that at all he only runs a couple IE and WMP and maybe burn the odd DVD with nero so i tell him he really doesnt need that much power so i tell him fair enough bout the processor future proof your self but 4GB RAM u really really dont need.
i have also heard somewhere that more than 3GB RAM on windows xp slows it down ? is this true ? i heard somewhere aswell that xp can only recognise 3.25GB RAM ? is this 1 true ?
n e ways i just wonna know what the benifits are from having 4GB RAM to 2GB RAM i mean if it has no down falls then ill just get it for him and then he wont need to upgrade for a long time so...
i dont think having 4GB RAM can slow it down but its just a rumour i heard and wonna check it out ? wot kinda problems is he lookin at with 4GB RAM (if any ?)
