Just bought the extra RAM (1.5 gig in total now). Was I naive to think
programmes would open more quickly with the extra RAM?
Yes, I'm afraid so.
If anything,
they are opening more sluggishly.
That's highly uinlikely, The extra RAM should never hurt you. Its benefit,
if there is one, should appear when you're running memory-intensive
programs. You mentioned movie editing, and that's a good example of an
application where it should be benficial. With regard to speed of opening
programs, I wouldn't expect any difference at all.

Thanks Ken. The warning advice didn't make much sense to me. I'll go
for 2 gb then.

Many thanks

upgrading my 512mb of RAM to 2GB but I am being told it could
destabilise windows (even though the motherboard can take 2GB).
Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Just wondered ...
You've been told wrong. It's completely incorrect. In fact I am
running 2GB on this machine right now, with no problems at all.
