My first purchase from NewEgg!

wtcnbrwndo4u · March 21st, 2007

I ordered a 1GB kit of RAM on Sunday... They shipped it out and I recieved it this afternoon...

2GB of RAM kicks some major ass... especially in Vista, which I already love.

. I ordered a kit because I'm never upgrading RAM in this computer again... so I have 4 DIMMs of 512MB.

I ordered some Corsair Value Select BTW. Working flawlessly so far... I have a lot of RAM free now in Vista... 68% free... much better compared to the 40ish% I was getting on 1GB...

WOW, you only had 40% of your RAM free when using 1GB in Vista?! Where'd that dang penguin disk run off to........

Congrats on the purchase though, glad to hear at least someone is getting a good RAM purchase from Newegg (unlike Mithosphere).

Watch out ordering from Newegg....its addictive and will get you in trouble with your spouse......

so previously Vista was using 614MB of RAM and now it is using 819MB.. the more memory you have, the more it uses... great! time to kick billy boy gates to the curb and jump in bed with the penguins

and um Rich... even for a po' boy I still manage to spend money with them at least every few weeks

The sad part is that all that ram used isn't useless either, it does heavy caching off your most used apps to speed up loading :-/.

Yeha, NewEgg.com is addictive, just remember to uncheck "Keep Card On File", and you should be Ok!

lol I got tired of typing my information every time so I am keeping it on file because I would buy the stuff with or without it on file

wtcnbrwndo4u · March 21st, 2007

Lol, I made sure to uncheck the info... :)

Yeah, I know there's limited RAM available in Vista (hell, according to Task Manager, I have 14MB of Free RAM), but like Lead Head said, it's all caching to speed it up. RAM frees up when you use it.

But Vista was an ASSLOAD faster compared to XP. I only made the move because I my XP boot was getting really gay and I decided to just move up instead of reformatting.

For all the negative stuff said about Vista, I'm really loving it myself. The interface is so much cleaner, smoother and quicker, it really feels like the "totally new" OS MS claimed it would be. Now, if only the game and benchmarking folks would get their patches out, I'd be using it all the time.

w00t w00t! Congratz on the purchase! Tell you what, I'll give you the secret to life, the universe and everything for half of your RAM

I keep my debit card on file at newegg, its one of the few services I'll trust with the number on file.

QFT, the only thing is the interface is foreign to me, it'll take a bit to grow on me

LOL, looking at my order history at Newegg, I have 4 pages of 'required performance upgrades' so far and just ordered another C2D 6400 today :)

Wife supports my addiction as long as I don't go completely nuts with it...
