How does ram affect pc performance?

question... my ram is a corsair 2 * 1 gig DDR2-667...uhhh. will I get NOTICABLE performance boost if I change to a crucial, or team rams? 2* 1 gig DDR2-800?

and what the hell is single channel - dual channel?

Yes...

dual channel mode can boost the performance of ur unit...

naa ny saktong positioning ana sa imong board..tan awa sa manual sa imong mobo..

tan awa ni bro...example ni cya sa dual channel mode------->http://support.intel.com/support/mot.../CS-009033.htm

plait nalang ug quad core with 1333mhz fsb....with 8 gig of freaking ram.....

anyway... ram do affects preformance... bisag sa college palang daan... the more RAM the better...

RAM. it its king because it is the fastest and temporary way to access data really fast compared to the hard drive.

i have vista home premium. 1gb 20-30 seconds start up
2gb 10-15 seconds start up

toally awesome

For Vista only

which i don't recommend using.....

@ Der FüHRER: nice info you got there bro

i was just confused because i got core 2 duo e6400 and 2x512mb pqi pc 667 ram in my system right now. And im eyeing on buying 2x2gig stable(e.g. patriot, crucial, g-skill etc) ram from LUNCH and i wasnt sure if buying this 4 gig ram would really affect pc performance given kinda low processor...remember from college? i remember something like , correct me if im wrong, CPU BOTTLENECK--even though youll have much ram but cpu bottleneck is small, only small amount of ram would be processed depending on how big ur bottleneck is. So ma useless ang uban memory. sak2 ba? hehehe

Start up you mean from POST to windows usable, or just after the loginscreen of vista?

if im right then i would really have to upgrade more processor which would cost a lot

e6400 is fast enough..for ddr2 rams up to 1066mhz if your motherboard supports it if i'm not mistaken you wouldnt have to worry about bottlenecks until ddr3 becomes mainstream..hehe

bro....i would go with as much ram/cpu power i could afford...in my case bro..my pocket is the bottleneck..hehehehe.but always remember that winxp/vista has its limits too on how much memory it could handle(if i remember it right 4GB). above that then you need an OS like....WinXP 64bit.

yeah..i think xp pro has a cap of 3gb or 3.5gb ram it can use
