Do you think my pc would speed up a noticable amount by getting more RAM? I currently have 256MB and i downloaded this thing that says how much ram you are using and it was in steady in the 70-75% range while i was running no programs. Is that bad?
 
Having up 75% being used at idle isn't good. You should have at least 512MB. 1GB would be best for general gaming and applications.
 
I do suggest getting a little more RAM. You should add at least another 256MB stick in. You will probably notice a difference when you open some programs.
 
A gig of RAM can be had for $20 these days, and it would be the best upgrade you ever did. What kind of RAM does your computer take?
 
what I'd do is get a 1gb kit, they are very cheap and definitely worth it. Apparently the mobo doesn't support dual channel but it doesn't matter too much, you will still notice a huge improvement.
 
More RAM will be the best thing you could do for that computer. Just do it and you will be very happy with the results.
