if i always have 30% of free RAM, do i have to expand it? Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 7:20 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Paolo (90 messages posted) hi everyone, i'm using a 256MB DDR RAM with windows xp professional, i was thinking of adding some memory, but by checking my system i found out that i always have some free ram. of course my computer is using the pagefile, what i wonder is if i put a 512MB RAM it will speed up my system. how do you think? plus, if i have a 256 DDR RAM, what if i add just another 256MB to make it 512? i know there are some problems of this kind, that's why i'm asking. DDR+DIMM doesn't work together, so how about 2 of the same kind? and..what's the difference between DDR and DIMM? thanks in advance for your help!
