Default Upgrading RAM - PC3200 - 02-27-2004, 02:47 PM
Alright, I have 1.2 gigs of RAM in my computer right now. It consists of 2 sticks of 2100 (256 + 512MB) and a stick of 512 2700. I want to upgrade and buy 2 sticks of 3200 512. My dad says it wont make a big difference but I dont know and I wanted to ask you guys what you think. Is it worth the money to upgrade?

it means that no matter what, the slowest memory in your system will determine the speed for the rest of your memory

Yep...in chemistry it's called the "Rate Determining Step".

You got a line of cars, all Ferraris except for the Yugo at the front of the line. The Yugo is puttering along at 10mph, forcing the Ferraris to go 10mph too.
