Re: Replaced Memory, Slow Response

My memory sticks went bad. I keep getting memory errors. I had two
PC2700 512 Meg memory sticks in my computer. So I went out and
purchased two new PC2700 512 Meg memory sticks. I took out the old
ones and put in the new ones.

Since then, I have been getting no memory errors, but my computer is
running dog slow. Everything takes at least 5 seconds.

Hello,

I just replaced my memory cards in my computer. I also just
upgraded to Windows XP Pro SP2. Now, everything on my computer is
slow. It is as though there is a 5 second delay to everything.
Mouse movements, opening files, entering text.

I am not sure if the problem is due to memory, or some configuration
on Windows. The memory was a 1Gig for 1Gig swap out.

Any ideas... this is so frustrating and makes it almost impossible
to work.

Thanks,

Mike

What kind of a menory upgrade did you do? 1 gig for 1 gig sure does
say much. Not knowing any more I would say to swap back that first.

Try booting with one stick at a time until you have tried all four sticks.
If you are having the same trouble with each stick then you most likely do
not have a ram problem. If you do have problems with the new sticks then you
may have the wrong memory. Recheck it or try another dealer for a different
brand.
