I have a six month old desktop PC running Windows XP Home SP2. It came
preinstalled with a Intel Pentium D 3.0Ghz processor, with 1GB of RAM.
Today, I doubled the RAM to 2GB. There seems to be a slight speed increase
when opening some programs, such as MS Word, and viewing pictures My
Documents. While other programs like System Information and XP's Help and
Support are as slow as ever to load. Is there a good way to test if the new
RAM is working? For the record, Windows correctly identifies the new RAM
total.
When a program is slow to load, I don't know whether to blame the
program itself, the processor, or the RAM.
