I have a dell dimension 2400 2.4 gh cpu , it had 512 mb of ram , i upgrated to 1gb ram stick also keeping a 256 ram stick in the other slot , thus giving me 1.25 gb of total ram ,my question is for performance gain should i keep the 256 in or just use the 1gb of ram , it seems to run good now but i have a 40 gb hd using xp pro , can anyone give me some tips on how to get top performance out of this pc,any tips on speeding up cpu without any overclocking. I just want to make sure im getting best performance for what i have.
