Well, I finally got the memory issue resolved. What it needed was *low density* pc 133 -- odd because Compaq support told me that ¨the memory with chips on both sides won't work¨ and that is the only thing I got to work. I can't believe how snappy this machine is now.Great! \(^o^)/ How much RAM did you have originally, and how much do you have now?
64-> 320
Recently I was investigating memory and I noticed claims that low density memory is compatible with more systems than high density memory. I guess it's true!
Seems like it.
I'm about to upgrade a customer's PC from 64MB to 320MB. I'm expecting a noticeable performance increase. Also in Windows I recently ran into another performance killer. For some reason an Ultra DMA 4 drive dropped back to PIO mode, resulting in slow access speed.
Reminds me to brush up on hdparm.
And I tried F-Prot. F-Prot is a good, efficient virus scanner. It's available for multiple OSes. I think there is a free version for Linux. The Windows version costs 30ドル per year for up to 5 PCs. The reason why I mentioned this is because installing the more common Norton AV seemed to slow the system down a lot.
