Badams66 Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 If i were to buy another stick of 256mb PC2100 RAM, will it speed up my folding at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxcesDenyed Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 probably not, you would have to overclock the cpu more or get a new one. it doesnt use much memory. but i could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Well for folding I wouldnt know but it would be nice to have 512mb of total ram rather than 256 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badams66 Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Well, im probably getting another stick anyway, i was just wondering if it would make my computer fold faster! It takes like 15 mins to do a step...some other people here on slower computers like an Athlon XP 1800+ can do a step in 2 minutes Even My friends AMD "Authentic" Athlon, compaq preserio, 126mb ram, 900MHZ does a step in 5 minutes....my computers at 1.7 GHz with double his ram.... <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb_ocer Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 May be because you have other programs running or something or other hidden applications that are taking up your Cpu time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badams66 Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Nope, im folding longer then my friend, and folding takes up the most cpu usage...its the only thing that uses the cpu when im away! Eitherwise it shares it with Iexplorer.exe like right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
syneze Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Sometimes a WU takes 2 mins each step, sometimes it takes 10, even on the same comp. It just depends on the work unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
