Replacement Ram for Dell Dimension 8200

 

I think my Dell 8200 ()400 FSB) uses RDRAM.

It has 4 total Rims with 2 loaded @ 256 each for a total of 512.

 

I can't quote prices off the top of my head, but my tech said it was Ram that is not available anymore, and if I could order it, it would be "expensive". Loading an additional matching pair of 256 RDRAM chips might also create BIOS upgrade issues yada yada

 

I think annother pair of 256 RDRam chips for my Dell Dimension 8200 would be something like $150??

skyliner- Thanks for the screenshots they explain a lot! I run Smart Ram in the background on my computer which consumes a constant amount of RAM between 500k and 1.2 MB from the time it starts with Windows Vista. This is worth the investment of resources to me because Vista unlike XP can be a huge resource hog when there is 3 GB of RAM to deal with and running Smart Ram along with some heavy modifications of the Services in Vista (now 37 at boot) has cut my daily RAM usage from 1.5 GB per day down to less than 700 MB so the investment of <1.2 MB of RAM has literally helped cut my daily RM usage by a typical 800+ MB of RAM each day which to me constitutes a great return on the investment!

Smart RAM + Gaming

 

Does Smart RAM do any difference while ingame, or should I let Game Booster turn it off?

Smart RAM have a setting there you can prevent it from free ram while high CPU usage, so I assume it should be turned off too with Game Booster, but I'm not sure.

Anyone?

Although it uses very little memory ~1.5 MB and Virtual memory ~3.2 MB, still uses ~1 % of CPU when idle, and I would turn it off if you have sufficient RAM for that specific Game you would like to play.

i used to use clean mem in windows 98 days was good then, not used it since not found a need in xp and vista.

sunny staines- How much total RAM does your Vista computer typically use in a day according to the Task Manager?
