You may recall I recently had a RAM failure on my PC which led to a corruption of my hard drive. I had upgraded to 2 gig of RAM and was loving the improved performance—until it hit the fan. My computer dude only had a 512 stick of RAM that worked in my PC, so I have been seriously slowed down while waiting for my new RAM to arrive. The wait is over! I just installed three brand new 1 gig Kingston (the only brand he recommends) HyperX sticks, and the improvement is extreme. I’m addicted to speed, I guess, but it sure is nice!
