However, I think that when adding more RAM, you should also add more Cache to your system - otherwise performance may drop as described by you. Don't ask me, though, how one is supposed to add more cache to a mainboard... If my above assumption is not right, I hope that someone will share the actual facts with you and me ;-) Greetings Nils -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Nils Holland - nils@nightcastleproductions.org NightCastle Productions - Linux in Tiddische, Germany http://www.nightcastleproductions.org "They asked me where this earthquake would begin, I offered to let them feel my pulse." ----------------------------------------------------------
