[PLUG] Memory hardware questions
|
I am working with an elderly machine, and don't expect much speed, but
would like to make it as snappy as I can without investing more money
than the machine is worth.
I have installed RH 7.2 and spend most time in KDE either in kmail, a
web browser, or word processing. With its current 48 MB RAM, it is --
believe it or not -- almost acceptable. It is, however, spending too
much time swapping to disk. I have limited memory upgrade options --
128 mb max. It takes what I believe are 70ns EDO SIMMs. I've been
quoted $69 for 32 MB modules from Gateway (the system manufacturer). I
have two questions.
It will cost me $140 more (at Gateway prices) for 128 vs. 96 MB. Is
the performance difference between 96 & 128 MB worth the difference in
price?
Can I get a better price elsewhere? Favorite vendors?
