Having just purchased a new 256k dimm today, I was wondering if I should keep my old 64's in behind it. The new memory is Crucial, PC100, and the old is PNY 64 strips. I'm wondering if the old memory is possibly negating any positive effects of the Crucial, perhaps slowing it down?, etc...
I'm on a BE-6 with 3 slots, so am running fine right now at 384MB's, but I didn't get the performance boost I was hoping for. At least not on 3dmark2000. The score was almost identical to the pre-added memory test. I'm also curious if this is not a good indicator of whether or not my machine has gotten a boost from the memory. I have yet to run any serious apps from lack of time...
Any suggestions advice, etc.. would be great. One last question, I guess, would be should I even expect a performance increase from this new memory? (And what's the low-down on PNY memory, good bad, nuetral, dog-vomit
?)
here's my box:
PIII 500
WD 18GB 7200 ATA66
Maxtor 20GB 7200 ATA66
ABIT BE-6
Soundblaster Live! Platinum
ASUS GeForce2 GTS 32MB
Panasonic HV DVD
Acer CD-RW 32x4x4
3COM NIC
WIN98
