Hi, I think we are crossing wires. When I bought my Compaq presario it had 256 ram. I added another 256(this was 4 yrs ago and ram was VERY expensive)and noticed a big lift in speed. A couple of days ago I bought 512 ram on Ebay for $16.00 (8 English pounds)I added it this morning and initally didn't see a big lift. I run Zeta as my main operating system and it was only after I booted up Xp that I noticed a big lift. I would imagine if you have a full P4 processor( Mine is a Celeron)and you replaced your 2x256 for 2 x 512 you would see a big lift.
