Brand new computer
Hi, I just bought a brand new computer,
and I opted for a much betetr memory speed, I suaully gifure that ram was a bottleneck in the computers speed cause it ran so much slower than the MB and CPU... however, increasing the speed on my ram did not seem to provide a very noticeable difference in my overall computer speed... why is this?
DETAILS:
CPU - INTEL E6850 (3 ghz, 4 mb l2 chache)
MB - Asus - 1333 mhz
RAM - ???? (brand unknown) 1033 mhz

Sorry, the brand was unknown to me, so I opened up the computer and took a look.... it's Kingston 2x1gb, don't known the model number, but it's definately kingston ram....

If you just bought a new computer what are you comparing the difference in speed to? I assume your old computer is slower. If the new computer is the same as old computer then there must be something else.
Try some benchmarking tools to compare the differences (graphics, ram, hdd speed etc).
Memory Speed cannot be compared to CPU speed directly if thats what you are hinting at. There are all sorts of calculations to take into account. Clock multipliers, voltages, bus speeds. Try reading an over-clocking guide to get more of an idea of what I am talking about.

Increasing the speed of your RAM without proper testing could affect overall system stability. Did you just increase the RAM speed by a multiplier or did you increase your FSB? Also, did you touch your RAM voltage at all?
Run Memtest. . . .bet it fails.

And it is also very difficult to tell you as well because I am unsure of what kind of pc or ram you had before, what was the amount of ram you had, the MHZ speed of the old ram vs the new ram. Also another thing you want to look at is the Latency of the ram as well. This determines speeds , the lower the latency the better.

Well, if you run Vista then 2gb should work fine on the speed! Unless you have some ram eating programs running at all times?

Yeah, i agree with fjeddy, open the task manager and take a look on what you're running...

You could also try to run the buildt in tools to clean up in your computer! The file saver, organizing your computer etc! Those kind of tools!
