Default General Computer Question

Hello everyone,

I am new here. I like the boards a lot, and I have a simple question. How can I make sure I am getting the most from my computer? I upgraded the RAM but see little difference. Are there tests I can do to see if all of the components are running at their top speeds?


Thanks in Advance!

Yeah, well, you shouldn't expect much. 1 -> 2 really won't give you much of a benefit, unless you're a gamer, in which case you should be seeing some increased performance for related stuff like loading textures and map data into memory.
