              alpha if you kick the computer into high gear(do something heavy duty with it? like a video encode?) see if cpu-z shows the multiplier kick up to full speed which would be 11X, not 5

                    well the ram is in, yes. the store simply put the new one where the old one was, and the old one where the open slot was. that PC is still majorly screwed though. videos won't play now, no add/delete screen. needs a reformat when i got time. but other than that actually, it works fine. my wife uses that so no rush!

                      That's one quirk I have noticed about windows xp, after changing ram, every now and then, the whole OS get's hosed, it's almost like it's trying to adjust
                      itself to the new ram or different timings and loses it altogether.

                              hey chewy sorry for the delay work has been busy so havent been able to get back to you. the last time we talked you were wanting this post #21 "kick the computer into high gear(do something heavy duty with it? like a video encode?) see if cpu-z shows the multiplier kick up to full speed which would be 11X, not 5" the multiplier was running anywhere from 9-11. so still curious on what sort of ram to add bc i do want to upgrade some. thanks
