Hi,
I have a Packard Bell notebook. It came with 512mb RAM but i removed that and inserted two 1gb sticks. Total ram is now 2gb which is the maximum.
UNfortunately programs still take way to long to open, and boot time is also slow.
Two main qsts:
1. Does it matter that i replaced the original RAM with new Kingston RAM?
2. If i try to speed up my bootup time, what are the essential programs required. Basically, what do i HAVE to keep in the msconfig startup box?
YI, i have anti spyware & adware and antivirus programs running. these also load at startup. i'm not too worried about the startup time, but during the comp. running it shouldnt be so slow to open apps.
I had installed this RAM quite a while ago; then I decided to format the HDD and install my own stuff rather than use the Packard Bell boot disc. THEN i had a problem coz the RAM wasnt recognized; so i took it to the service center. Had to be reinstalled with the PB ram.
Thinking of buying and putting new PB ram (whatever it is they recommend to use). Think this would help?
