Jelly Bean Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Hello there,the first thing I note is your computer can take upto 4 gig RAM/Mmeory. 256MB DDR2 533/667/800 SDRAM expandable to 4GB I also am reading your computer cames with a standard 2 x 512 mb RAM. It appears you 2 x 1 gig stick installed and a 512 mb. Many computers do not take mixed sized RAM. I also noted the diffrence in speed of your RAM.Acer says 533/667/800 you have two RAM sticks fitted and are 430. I would recomend you add 2 to 4 gig of RAM of the same make and model,speed etc. Also there is a possibility you can fit an internal fan rather than put a fan to blow air at the computer Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Jelly Bean Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 You are very welcome. I think if you add the matching RAM sticks at the higher speed you will find your computer will run much faster. It is possible having the diffrent speeds and gig the computer is not utilising the RAMS full capacity. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Plastic Nev Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Just to add, RAM in mixed speeds will result with the total running only at the speed of the slowest, so if needing speed, get rid of the slow RAM and fit all new at the highest speed the motherboard and processor will run at.
