I recently upgraded my system RAM with a 128mb SDRAM module. The install went ok and when my system starts it now shows that I have 256mb of RAM.
I have not noticed an increase in speed. In fact my system boot seems a lot slower even after using bootvis. I have been told that my system cache may not be big enough to handle the extra memory and that there is no way to get around this other than a system or motherboard upgrade. Is this correct or is there a tweak that will increase the cache?
System info below. Forgive me..I am no techie and these are the basics.
HP Pavilion 8690
AMD Athlon 650mhz
256mb SDRAM
15GB HD
TNT2pro 32MB AGPx2
512kb level 2 cache built in
Regards.......Neil
