More Ram ?????
I have 256 megs of ram. Is there a significant increase in perfomance if I was to add an extra 128 megs or would it remain the same. Ive heard that there is a point were more ram will not help the speed of your computer, what would that point be.

more ram would decrease the hard drive activity
I haven't noticed an speed increase with over 384MB of RAM. However, it all depends on what you're doing and other hardware too, specifically the speed of your hard drive.
I say go for it... I recently added another 256meg stick to my system. It's sick how little my hard drive gets accessed during boot
I paid $46 for name brand memory a few weeks ago, it's down to $40 now. The generic stuff only costs $30/stick! With prices this low, you can't afford NOT to buy RAM!

Well your right.ram is cheep. I just picked up 128 PC 133 for 39 dollars canadian, regular price 55 dollars. Last time I bought ram I had to sell a kidney.
But I don't belive I have noticed any speed differance on my system.
But at that price who cares, it will be a help with my Cad programs im sure.
ummmm I may run up a get some more..I luvs a bargan:D
