more RAM?

[ymNA]

how much of an increase in performance from my radeon will I get if I add 256mb more ram? how much increase in 3dmark01?

in terms of FPS, none. it might give you a higher score in 3dmark.

but even in overall system performance, if your running a win9x OS then it wont make any difference at all. the 9x series(including ME) dont manage ram effectively, making anything over 256mbs literally a waste. that changes if you go to 2k/XP though.....much better memory management, so basically the more ram the better.

still, unless your getting hickups in your gaming now...it wont make much of a difference. in terms of performance....it depends more on the graphics core speed and memory bandwidth(of course system memory bandwidth makes a difference too).

You also have to remember, that usable ram tops out at about 384. After that, ram isn't utilized properly, or enough, to warrant getting it.

btw, I LOVE your avitar!!

Your Avatar looks KOOL!!!
yea and if you're running Windows 98 then 256MB ram is almost the at the peak!
adding any more won't make much of a difference!

oh yeah, crucial doesn't have CL 2 ddr? I only see 2.5...any idea?

you can always set up a ramdrive, i was gonna, but i think it only works with win98....
