Not exactly a CPU or overclocking issue, but it relates to speed, our favorite topic.
I jumped on that $50 + shipping after rebate deal for 2 x 512 Corsair Value RAM at Outpost and popped it in, giving me 4 x 512 of the Corsair Value RAM.
I didn't think it would really make a difference, but I think my system feels faster and snappier now and all I've been doing is Internet surfing and MS Office applications. Does it make any sense that I would really notice a speed difference? Could my system have enjoyed a real speed increase, or is it just my imagination?
Processor is an Opteron 148 overclocked to 2.75 Ghz on an Epox EP-9NPA+Ultra motherboard running WinXP Pro SP2.
